Harry Carman Releases Folk Charmer, “It’s All Good”

Harry Carman’s new single “It’s All Good” is the musical equivalent of a warm hug. Whether you need a little sonic support or just want to chill out today, you’ve got to hear this sweet indie-folk song.

“This song was originally written when my ex was going through pregnancy with our youngest son,” Harry recalled. “I wanted to make a song that was reassuring and comforting in the hardest of times. It’s now become a song I play for my two boys (they already know all the words) whenever we’re in the car or before bed. Myself and my producer, Josh Richens, made the production of the song evolutionary to capture how the song evolved from a simple phone recording, to a demo for SoundCloud, all the way to what it is now.”

If you want to hear more from Harry and you’re around Ngambri/Canberra, treat yourself to lunch at Ballyhoo today. He’s playing from midday to 4 pm, so get out and show your support.

Harry Carman’s New Single “Prisoner” Much More Than Pop

Canberra’s Harry Carman defies genre with his new single “Prisoner.” The press release claims it’s “a melodic, up-tempo 3-minute pop song” but that description doesn’t go far enough. The brass hooks and bass have a real jazzy flavour, and those wailing guitars are pure rock. It takes the listener on a real journey, engaging from start to finish.

“When I wrote ‘Prisoner’ I was broke, sleeping on a friend’s couch and living a self-destructive lifestyle. My first EP was out, and I wanted the rock star lifestyle – sex, drugs and rock & roll – the problem was that I wasn’t a rock star, in fact far from it,” Harry explained. “’Prisoner’ is a song about breaking up with that way of life and focusing on the music, I wrote the song from the perspective of an abusive relationship, because that’s what it was, an abusive relationship between myself and the person I wanted to be.”

“Prisoner” comes from Harry’s upcoming EP State of Sedation, which should drop in the middle of the year.
