"Strokes" is a prismatic phantasmagoria. A sonic kaleidoscope. The imagery creates a surreal world within and without. Nature and man as one. Darkness is the shadow cast by the light and the light prevails. #electricmuse

Strokes is Red Tail Hawk's 2020 album, released June 7, 2020: five songs, "Primal," "Rocksteady," "Run Run," "Strokes" and "Wanted," that move from the kinetic groove rock of "Primal" to the vintage bounce of "Rocksteady" and the surreal, cinematic title track, with the sax up front throughout.

Pitch Perfect gave it 4.0 out of 5, calling it "just a fantastic release in many different ways," and the title track premiered on Media Monarchy's #PumpUpThaVolume in March 2020.

How it was made. All songs were written by Benjamin Zanfagna, and Tim Phillips produced and mixed the album. Live tracks were recorded by Kenny Lewis at Mixed Emotions Music, additional tracks at Mercy Sound Recording Studios in New York City, and Tom Waltz mastered it at Waltz Mastering. Album art by Kevin McHugh.

Who plays. Ben Zanfagna (vocals, guitar, tenor saxophone), Reed Dieffenbach (drums, percussion), Mike Gruen (bass) and Eric Turner (guitar), with Ben Alleman (synth, Hammond B3 organ).
