Falmouth-based band Low Harness will release their debut album, Salvo, via Krautpop! on 6th December.Today we are sharing the album’s second single, ‘Too Long Together‘, a driving slow-burn tack, underpinned by thudding bass lines, scurrying guitars and vocals from Hannah Gledhill that’s riven with a bittersweet catharsis, it’s influenced by the Portland punk scene of the 80s and 90s. Listen below now.
Gledhill says of the track:
“Two Long Together is the acknowledgement of when a relationship is over and isn’t going to work, and the longer you leave it the worse the inevitable feels. This was a cathartic number for me to blow some cobwebs off.”
Channeling atonality and noise alongside expansive shoegaze and hypnotic krautrock, Salvo captures a sense of instability and unknown terrors; political unrest, impending and current wars, economic crisis, environmental collapse and the loss of loved ones.
A union of four seasoned DIY minds, Low Harness was born in 2023 when they met through working at Penryn DIY hub the Fish Factory Arts Space. With Hannah and Martin Pease favouring alternative tunings, it was only a matter of time before they were writing together. Joined by Ed Shellard on drums and Alex Harmer on bass, the record emerged quickly after practising in a friend’s garage, with sonic touchpoints including 90s noise rock, Sonic Youth, Wire, MBV, Glenn Branca, and Einstürzende Neubauten. To finish writing Salvo, they took part in a week’s residency at local venue The Cornish Bank, before heading to an old 19th century chapel to record.
