Herbie Hopkins is a songwriter from Leeds. Renowned improviser and drummer, Mark Sanders, described his work as ‘adventurous and daring’.
His new single, ‘What Am I Doing Here? (lie)’, is about anatomy, nocturnal landscapes, and supernatural self-discovery.
Recorded by Chris Sharkey (engineer), accompanied by Matthew Bourne (piano) and Harry Souter (guitar, percussion); ‘What Am I Doing Here? (lie)’ combines vivid songwriting, haunting improvisation, and raw found-sound-samples.
Shimmering with an evocative, hand-made quality, ‘What Am I Doing Here? (lie)’ is sparklingly immediate and uniquely expressive.
After a year of innovative live performances across England; Herbie, Chris, Matthew, and Harry, have made a song of rare imagination! ‘What Am I Doing Here? (lie)’ is fantastic!
New Single, ‘What Am I Doing Here? (lie)’, will be released March 21st, 2025.
New Album, ‘Alex’, will be released April 25th, 2025.
