Big Harp are set to release their follow-up to Chain Letters with Its A Shame, a 7″ out on March 10th via Fat Possum. It was produced by John Congleton who did HearYa’s favorite album of 2014 – HEAL by Strand Of Oaks. Here’s some info on the new album.
Now, with drummer Daniel Ocanto, they’ve put everything together in a free-wheeling, multifaceted sound that moves far beyond anything they’ve attempted before. If their first album was a relatively monochrome affair, and the second saw them adding more volume and texture to a still fairly somber, if slyly winking sound, then their single, and their self-titled third album release “Big Harp” (spring/summer 2015) finds them moving whole-heartedly into brighter, sharper regions brimming with life.
They will be down at SXSW and you should make an effort to check them out.
