Lawson Hull Performs ‘Cowboys’ Live at Enmore
PRESENTED BY
Hailing from Newcastle, Lawson Hull taps into a rich vein of country-tinged indie rock. On Cowboys, he warns us that he’s a hard act to follow — and though the line might be sung tongue-in-cheek, there’s a ring of truth to it.
It was Cowboys that he brought to the Live at Enmore studios. Backed up by a crack team, his husky baritone was the star of the show.
The talented songwriter knows how to deliver; what makes the Lawson Hull experience special is that he makes it look so damn easy.
Cowboys was Mixed and Recorded by Daniel Shaw, Radi Safi and Owen Penglis
Hull’s band — featuring Mikhail Hofmann on lead guitar, Tim McArtney on bass, and Charlie Finn on drums — laid the platform for the frontman’s hushed delivery, effortlessly creating dynamic peaks throughout the performance.
“It’s a fantasy to imagine myself on a journey through the Wild West of the music industry,” says Hull, “It’s really isolating writing songs [but] it’s super worth it at the same time.”

For dynamic vocal performances, you need a great dynamic mic. Enter the AE4100.
The AT4081 is a high-quality ribbon mic that is a perfect stereo pair for drum overheads.
The BP40 is one of the most versatile dynamics in Audio-Technica’s arsenal. This time, it found on the snare.
This little gem of a hypercardioid dynamic is perfect for getting into any tight space in the studio. This time, it could be found on the guitar cabinets.
The ATM230 is a small and easily positionable dynamic that’s perfect for getting up close to the rack and floor toms.
The ATM250 is a hypercardioid dynamic that can take a lot of punishment. It looks like a grenade and it’s just as tough — perfect for capturing the inside of a kick drum.
