Bringing bigger textures and grunge influences to ‘Chinook’Recording for the album initially began after Hawk moved back to North Carolina for a short stint. While making the long drives back to Philadelphia, Hawk took the time to go through the CDs she’d started collecting though her childhood. “I became totally obsessed with Alice in Chains and even Pearl Jam and these things that I interacted with as a kid,” Hawk said. Reflecting on the process, Hawk said the switch from making demos at home to recording in a studio helped her start to “dream quite bigger” with the initial concepts. “I remember writing and recording my demo of that song,” Hawk said.
