Watch Nick Hakim Premiere "The Want" in an Intimate SXSW Performance

As he continues to traverse the continental US of A, Nick Hakim has blessed us with an all-pro performance of a new single from his upcoming album, Green Twins. Captured by NPR at SXSW last week, the DC native introduces us to his lush new cut "The Want" over a Mellotron and drum machine accompaniment, where warm, rapturous keys and strings cushion the blow of his lovelorn daggers.

Watch Nick Hakim howl at the stars in an intimate SXSW performance of the new track "The Want" off his upcoming full-length debut Green Twins. The album arrives May 19th. Pre-order your copy on iTunes today or head over to ATO to grab it on vinyl.
