"Hawkmoon" comes from The Past Is Still Alive, Hurray for the Riff Raff's eighth studio album, which Nonesuch released on February 23, 2024. Alynda Segarra wrote it alone, words and music, for a record made in the shadow of loss: Segarra started recording in 2023, the month after their father died, with Brad Cook producing.
The album around it is written in the first person, Segarra turning over childhood, the hard years of early adulthood and what the present has taught them, with radical poetry, railroad lore, outsider art, the writing of Eileen Myles and the activist groups ACT UP and Gran Fury all feeding in. Meg Duffy, Conor Oberst, S.G. Goodman and Anjimile all lend a hand across the record.
