King Hannah

About

King Hannah doesn't just play music; they conjure atmospheres. The Liverpool duo, comprised of Hannah Merrick and Craig Whittle, trades in a cinematic brand of slowcore that feels as expansive as the American landscapes they often invoke, yet as intimate as a late-night confession. Their music, steeped in the DNA of Mazzy Star and incorporating elements of blues and grunge, unfolds at a glacial pace, allowing Merrick's haunting vocals and Whittle's masterful guitar work to resonate with unnerving power. Emerging onto the scene with their debut EP "Tell Me Your Mind" in 2020, King Hannah quickly garnered critical acclaim for their ability to craft emotionally resonant soundscapes. Their 2022 debut album, "I'm Not Sorry, I Was Just Being Me," solidified their reputation as purveyors of melancholic beauty, earning praise for its raw honesty and sonic textures. They've toured extensively, captivating audiences with their mesmerizing live performances, and have shared stages with artists like Kurt Vile. King Hannah's impact lies in their ability to create music that is both intensely personal and universally relatable. They tap into the anxieties and uncertainties of modern life, offering solace and connection through their beautifully desolate soundscapes. Their willingness to embrace vulnerability and sonic experimentation positions them as a vital voice in contemporary alternative music. Currently, King Hannah continues to tour and work on new material, promising further explorations into the depths of human emotion.
