Song(s) of the Day # 2,950 Nat Harvie

 


Yet another fine recommendation from Darren Jones, constant supporter of this blog, who is constantly suggesting great stuff that I almost certainly wouldn't come across otherwise.  I'm defintely grateful.


This one is from Nat Harvie an inhabitant of Duluth, Minnesota which just sounds like an interesting place full stop as well as being the hometown of Low, one of the greatest bands in the world.


Duluth only has a population of 87,000 so inevitably Harvie and Low's Alan Sparhawke share the same orbit. Harvie's latest album, or mini-album, Married in Song, is out on Sparhawke's label Chairkicker's Union.


It's full of early adult ennui and reflection about relationships, regret and general small town living. It's generally Juno in mood. A comparison I use a lot, but generally one that nails a certain sensibility. 

It's a great little record. So thanks again Darren and please keep them coming.

    Glad you like it, I think it's rather good! If you want some more, the new, self-titled Doe St album is another great Australian guitar record. Also, the new String Machine album is well worth checking out.

    Oh, Doe St. is fabulous too. You're definitely pushing for co-authorship status. Great stuff. Thanks!
