In The Last Hour Of Light

Description

Hrishikesh Hirway, musician, composer, and podcast creator, is releasing his new album, In the Last Hour of Light, on April 24, 2026, via Keeled Scales. Known for his award-winning podcast and Netflix series, "Song Exploder," as well as for his compositions for film and television, including "Companion," "Save The Date," "Our Nixon," and "Everything Sucks!," his original music project began under the name One AM Radio, before taking his current name with the release of the EP To Call My Own in 2022. Produced by Philip Weinrobe, Grammy Award-winning producer (Big Thief, Adrienne Lenker, Theo Katzman, Cass McCombs), In the Last Hour of Light is an autobiographical narrative about farewells: to people, to memories, and to the desire to stop the passing time. The songs were born from the death of Hrishikesh's mother, whose memory is gradually fading; and from moments spent watching over his father in the hospital, and from the dream of a daughter he will never have. There are also love songs, but of a love weathered by a long shared life, where the past is as rich as the future. Hrishikesh's band included Shahzad Ismaily (Feist, Arooj Aftab), Ken Pomeroy, Mike Haldeman (Moses Sumney, Dawn Richards), Joshua Crumbly (Leon Bridges, Kamasi Washington), Oliver Hill (Kevin Morby, Broken Bells, Vagabon), Sean Mullins (Sam Evian), and Cole Kamen-Green (Beyoncé, Taylor Swift); with vocal contributions from Iron & Wine, Fenne Lily, Ken Pomeroy, and Uwade Hart (St. Vincent), Zosha Warpeha (L'Rain), and Dustin O'Halloran.
