Harry Heart Releases “Epiphany”

Aussie expat Harry Heart has left me swooning with the release of his brand new single “Epiphany.” It’s a gorgeous heartfelt number that speaks so beautifully of the isolation that can come with chasing your dreams and how the right person can drag you out of that melancholy.

“I started writing the song as a lonely little bloke,” Harry says of the song, “which I had brought upon myself in search of a fruitful career as an artist. I had written half of a sombre song and then I met a girl who well and truly pulled me out of a rut.

“I think you can hear where I met her in the lyrics, around the time things sound optimistic. She is literally the other half of the song, feel free to interpret that as cheesily and metaphorically as you please.”

Harry officially releases “Epiphany” tomorrow. He’ll tour it around New South Wales with his five-piece band, the Harry Heart Chrysalis, next month.

Harry Heart Rocks Out with “Baby Calm Down”

Critics around the world have been losing their minds over Sydney’s Harry Heart. Indie Shuffle praised his “emotive lyrics, the driving guitar riffs, and the loose percussion breakdowns,” while The Wild Honey Pie declared “his music is sure to tug at your heartstrings.” If you haven’t heard of Harry, his new single “Baby Calm Down” might help you understand why he’s generating such buzz.

It’s got a great dirty retro vibe which reminds me a little of Death Cab for Cutie and Arctic Monkeys. Harry explained the song “is really a track about frustration. About being a twenty-something year old male in a world of Mark Zuckerbergs and Justin Biebers, where everyone’s a bloody rock star; no one cares about the lovers and thinkers of the world. Emotions are discouraged and abrasiveness championed. Baby Calm Down is about taking that frustration out on those you love. It was one of those songs where I had about six verses and had to choose the best ones – I had a lot to say.”

Harry Heart will launch “Baby Calm Down” at the Rare Finds event at Sydney’s OAF Gallery on August 12.
