Artist Info

Haux

Powered by Audioscrobbler™Haux is an American modern indie folk singer-songwriter and producer known for his dreamy fusion of indie electronic, pop, and folk music. Woodson Black, the artist behind Haux, was born and raised in the Berkshires, Massachusetts, where he was collectively raised by his mother and her five sisters. The family faced challenges such as cancer, substance abuse, and tragic losses, which had a profound impact on Haux's life and musical expression.

After attending Northeastern University in Boston, Black pursued an internship at a record label in London, England. There, he immersed himself in the music scene, exploring various aspects such as writing, photography, and composing. Haux began his career by recording tracks and sharing them on SoundCloud, eventually releasing his first digital EP, "The Bluest Sage," on December 8, 2014. In 2016, he released his debut physical EP, "All We've Known," on Akira Records, drawing comparisons to artists like Bon Iver, C Duncan, and Benjamin Francis Leftwich.

Over the following years, Haux continued to release dreamy singles such as "Touch," "Youth," and "Cologne," which were later compiled into his 2018 EP, "Something to Remember." However, during a European tour after the EP's release, Haux experienced severe anxiety, prompting him to take a break from music and confront his formative trauma.

On July 17, 2020, Haux released his debut full-length album, "Violence in a Quiet Mind." The album delves into the themes of family struggles with substance abuse, trauma, and the importance of confronting personal demons for healing. Through introspective and deeply personal songs, Haux reflects on the loss of loved ones, particularly his aunts, and the generational struggle with addiction within his family.

The album was recorded on the Isle of Harris in Scotland, a place significant to Haux's mother, creating an isolated and emotionally charged environment for channeling his feelings. Co-produced by Jamie Macneal and Thomas Bartlett, the album maintains an intimate atmosphere that captures the raw emotions and vulnerability of Haux's storytelling.

Haux hopes that "Violence in a Quiet Mind" will spark conversations about mental health, addiction, and the importance of honesty and empathy. By sharing his own experiences and struggles, Haux aims to provide solace and support for listeners as they confront their own challenges and seek healing from past traumas. The album invites audiences on an intimate and contemplative journey, encouraging self-reflection and embracing the power of healing through music.
