John Harvey’s latest tune is a tongue in cheek and spicy piece of alternative rock. Carried by a riff that’s simultaneously exciting and anxiety inducing, the Oregon based singer-songwriter’s edgy piece pairs together addictive and sleek acoustic guitars with roaring bass lines and an overall production synthesis that’s layered together meticulously. The vocal performance is raw, a result of being an original take from the song’s initial demo version to add to the honesty and sincerity of the piece. The song is larger than life, a nigh cinematic take to it’s presentation that adds so much depth and meaning behind each note and lyric. Singing about the void you you feel when you ‘re about to let go of what you hold most dearest, Harvey takes a rather grim topic and repackages it into something light and unpredictable.
Coming from a family of musicians and having been one his entire life as well, John Harvey lives and breeds songs. You don’t want to miss out on this multifaceted and storied song-writer any longer.
