Torn Hawk

Torn Hawk is the alias of New York-based artist Luke Wyatt, a multi-disciplinary creator known for blending gritty synth textures, warped nostalgia, and cinematic tension into his music. Emerging in the early 2010s, his work often mashes vaporwave aesthetics with muscular guitar riffs and lo-fi electronic production, creating a sound that feels both eerily familiar and boldly experimental. Recent releases like *Through Force of Will (2024 Edition)* and *Trustfall* showcase his knack for transforming melancholic melodies into anthemic, emotionally charged tracks that linger somewhere between triumph and decay.

Beyond music, Wyatt incorporates visual art and video work into his projects, often crafting DIY-style collages that mirror his sonic palette’s collision of analog warmth and digital glitches. His output—from the raw energy of *Flip To Raw* to the brooding atmospheres of *Under The Counter*—feels like a love letter to forgotten media formats and the emotional resonance of imperfect artifacts. Torn Hawk’s work thrives in the tension between earnestness and irony, making him a cult favorite for listeners who crave texture-heavy soundscapes with a side of existential cool.
