"Maitreya Corso serves as Hawke's fourth studio album and was written and produced alongside frequent collaborators Christian Lee Hutson, Benjamin Lazar Davis, and Jonathan Low. The album finds Hawke inhabiting the character of 'Maitreya Corso,' whom she refers to in a statement as a 'magical misfit, whose sheer inability to adapt to the surrounding world allows her to create a world of her own, and to explore the positive and negative power of the ego.'"
"Hawke begins the track and sings the chorus with a vocoder behind her, adding a strange, harmony-laden effect; for the verses, however, Hawke crams dozens of words in, almost rapping across the track's warm, cozy instrumental. 'Devil You Know' is about trying to keep ambition and greed out of the creative process."
"Hawke will support Maitreya Corso with a spring 2026 US tour. The trek kicks off in Woodstock, New York on April 10th and continues with stops in Brooklyn, Portland (Oregon), Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, Washington D.C., and Boston. She'll close out the run back in New York at the Bowery Ballroom on May 2nd."
