“Kind of like what would happen if The Strokes went to the beach for the summer” – FADER
“There’s something instantly charismatic about Her’s which proves pivotal.. It takes their jangly, oddball pop songs into another league” – DIY
“pop full of irresistible hooks and a cheeky smile” – Dork
“Luminous guitar lines, tremulous dissonant vocals and an arsenal of gorgeous indie pop melodies” – Guardian
Today, jangle pop oddballs Her’s share ‘Harvey’, a third single from their forthcoming debut album due in August.
Following on from last year’s 9 track compilation ‘Songs Of Her’s’, the Liverpool duo’s upcoming debut LP ‘Invitation to Her’s‘ released August 24th on Heist or Hit will be their most significant step yet. ‘Harvey’ ushers in the summer with its lilting choruses and peculiar verses perfectly straddling the line between the mad scientist bedroom experimentation of Ariel Pink and the slick production values of Scritti Politti.
Their whimsical pop effortlessly weaves in The Doldrums style oddity and un-self conscious play with a relish for R&B melodies to make for a sound that is rapidly garnering a fervent and loyal fanbase.
They’ve been met with a glowing reception from Radio 1, 6Music, DIY, The Guardian, FADER, Stereogum, NME, The Line of Best Fit, Wonderland, Pigeons and Planes, and Dork, and conquered a respectable chunk of the global circuit already through shows at Visions, Green Man, The Great Escape, SXSW and in Bangkok. Her’s next spate of touring will see them hit the road throughout the nation, after playing a sold-out London show at Moth Club earlier in May, before slots at Citadel, Leopallooza, Neighbourhood Festival, Tramlines capping it all off with an Autumn headline tour ending in a London headline at The Dome.
With its canny synthesis of their many different influences, ’Harvey’ distils everything that makes Her’s such a fun and beguiling group to follow right now. Her’s’ Audun Laading and Stephen Fitzpatrick may both be Merseyside migrants, the latter from Barrow and the former from Norway, but the duo have made a musical home of Liverpool. Brought together through a chance encounter in a university canteen by their shared love of off-kilter humour and art, Her’s have shaped the very texture of Liverpool alongside peers like The Orielles, Trudy and the Romance and Pizzagirl. The nucleus of the Merseyside scene surrounding these groups finds its identity through humour and imagination. They’re voracious consumers of music across styles and eras, and it shows in their mutant retro-futurist sound. All things considered, ‘Invitation To Her’s’ is already proving to be one of the most free and inspired indie rock debuts this island has seen for a while.
‘Invitation to Her’s’ is released August 24th on Heist or Hit and third single ‘Harvey’ is out now.
