Forest Bathing Studio album by A Hawk and a Hacksaw Released April 13, 2018 Recorded 2017–18 Genre Folk Length 33:33 Label L.M. Dupli-cation Producer Jeremy Barnes[1] A Hawk and a Hacksaw chronology You Have Already Gone to the Other World (2013) Forest Bathing (2018) ***Forest Bathing*** is the seventh studio album by [A Hawk and a Hacksaw](/source/A_Hawk_and_a_Hacksaw). It was released April 13, 2018.[2] Prior to its release, the song "A Broken Road Lined With Poplar Trees" premiered on [Under the Radar's](/source/Under_the_Radar_(magazine)) website.[3] ## Album name and concept The term [forest bathing](/source/Forest_bathing) refers to the Japanese concept of [*Shinrin-yoku* (森林浴)](/source/Shinrin-yoku), a Japanese form of nature therapy. According to L.M. Dupli-cation, "This is not an urban music. It's rural; songs of the woods and roads where there are no sidewalks or street lamps to light your way. "A Broken Road lined with Poplar Trees" describes just this- the dirt from the summer sun, a melody from home on my tongue. The song "Babayaga" by Trost, is a tribute to the archetypal crone Babayaga, who sticks out her cane just as a child runs by... And "The Washing Bear" is a classic brass romp, connecting Serbian brass with it's [*sic*] Southern brothers in Albania and Turkey..."[2] The band cites the [Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge](/source/Valle_de_Oro_National_Wildlife_Refuge) in [New Mexico](/source/New_Mexico) as "their forest bath of choice."[4] ## Track listing All tracks are written by Jeremy Barnes and Heather Trost.
