HANK is the brand new album from Akira The Don and Charles Bukowski. 

HANKdraws from years of interviews and poems to create 14 beautiful songs - 11 brand new, including the instant classicsBLUEBIRD ft Harry Dean Stanton, LET IT DIE, and THE CRUNCH,along with a gang more that you will come to love, featuring Bukowski’s meditations on life, loss, loneliness, love and all that comes between and after, entwined with an exquisite string soaked soundtrack from Akira.

The set also features a trio of beloved Meaningwave Masterpieces - The Genius of The Crowd, plus the Tom Waits-voiced Nirvana and The Laughing Heart.

You can read about how Akira came to discover Charles Bukowski and the inspiration behind the creation of the record here.

HANK is out now on all streaming platforms, and you can download it here (plus it's BANDCAMP DAY, which means all the proceeds go to Meaningwave!)

Enjoy this new record.

It was made with love.

For you.

LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!
