Release Notes:
Last Harbour are a Manchester collective playing rustic, cinematically atmospheric
songs that rattle and loom, at once epic and intimate, harsh and beautiful. Using
instrumentation that might traditionally be associated with folk music, the band
instead hammer and sculpt their music into unusual and beguiling forms. This is music
with a strong emotional content, both bitter and beautiful.
The band effectively operate as a collective of like-minded musicians, all of whom
are involved in other artistic work including music, photography, film-making and
recording. There have been several Last Harbour records to date, all of them highly
acclaimed.
"A record of seductive charm and nocturnal glower."
Uncut
"Brooding late night balladry and rustic instrumental explorations. File under Dirty
Three, Tom Waits, Sixteen Horsepower, Songs: Ohia and Johnny Cash."
Delusions of Adequacy
"Gorgeous gothic fairy-tales."
City Life
"The sheer beauty of Last Harbour's songs is hugely uplifting... equals the best of
Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris, or Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood. Magical."
