Amazing Things

Description

In 2024, Darren lost a friend to cancer. Amazing Things is an album about death, neither gloomy, nor slow, nor calm. On the contrary, it is full of joyful and melodic guitars and some of Darren’s finest songs. Sometimes very sad, it is also sincere, affectionate, and rewarding. Darren Hayman recorded the album almost entirely solo and, this time, he dug deep into his main instrument, the electric guitar, creating a sound rich in tone and texture. Darren Hayman is a British singer-songwriter best known for his work with the band Hefner in the late 90s, but since then he has composed more than 20 albums devoted to astronauts, the English Civil War, William Morris, Lidos, and Thankful Villages. He lives in south London with his dog.
