King Hannah
Murky, unhurried indie rock with a cinematic late-night pulse. Deadpan vocals meet reverb-drenched guitars for those who find beauty in the shadows.

King Hannah, the Liverpool-based duo of Hannah Merrick and Craig Whittle, emerged in the late 2010s as a distinctive voice in the contemporary indie rock landscape. Their sound identity is defined by a fusion of slowcore, Americana, and post-rock, characterized by Merrick's deadpan, spoken-sung delivery and Whittle's atmospheric, often feedback-laden guitar work.
They occupy a cultural space between the gritty realism of British post-punk and the expansive, cinematic traditions of American roots music. Critically, they are often compared to artists like Mazzy Star, PJ Harvey, and Bill Callahan, noted for their ability to maintain intense emotional gravity through minimalism. Their career arc shows a steady refinement of this 'nocturnal' aesthetic, moving from the lo-fi intimacy of 'Crème Brûlée' to the more robust, collaborative production of 'Big Swimmer,' which featured contributions from Sharon Van Etten. They are increasingly recognized as masters of tension and atmosphere, appealing to collectors of moody, guitar-driven alternative music.
