Dark Companion Records is proud to announce the release of a long-awaited new album by the original four members of the legendary ensemble. Recorded live November 18, 2022.

For many, the music of Henry Cow represented a transformative listening experience – complex, challenging, and enduringly influential. This new project, created under the name HN, marks a remarkable reunion of four pioneering musicians, whose collaborative work helped define a unique chapter in experimental music history.

Reuniting these artists – each a tireless explorer of sound – was no small undertaking. Yet the decision to come together again, decades after their original journey, was met with shared conviction. The resulting music reflects over fifty years of individual and collective evolution, without compromise.

Edited and mixed by Fred Frith in two distinct versions for vinyl and CD, this release stands as a faithful document of a significant artistic moment.

The music itself is bold, forward-looking, and richly expressive – a testament to the enduring creative spirit that first brought these musicians together.
