A Handshake To The Brain
Hawk House
2014
A Handshake To The Brain is ultimately about weaponizing the mind. It takes the shape of a scientific lecture on the brain with various “Topics” and “Experiments” tying together different mind-centric lessons and concepts which the group introduces on each track.
The album opens with an introduction to the brain itself, as Hawk House walks us through the various parts of the brain, like the medulla oblongata, hypothalamus, and cerebellum. Hawk House details that their talent is a result of their strong minds, which they use as their most powerful weapon.
“Fall back on the things that weigh on your mind
Don’t let complications take up that time
Fall back on the things that weigh on your mind
Recline, ‘cus that’s a handshake for your brain, bro”
