Rich with shimmering psych-folk, introspective lyrical wit and sophisticated 60s homage – Native Harrow is Stephen Harms and Devin Tuel, who emigrated together from Pennsylvania to Brighton, England in 2021.
After settling in at the very top of a crumbling regency building where the seagulls call to the sun’s rise and fall each day, they thought “this is the perfect place to make a record.” Two years on, Native Harrow have shared ‘Old Kind of Magic’ – an enchanted collection of songs that reprises 60’s sounds and sensibilities in a delightfully original way.
Harms and Tuel have self-produced a work that is simultaneously their most sweepingly expansive and delicately intimate to date – moving dramatically from the opening field recording of the Brighton seaside, to Laurel Canyon-esque folk-rock, piano and rhodes tinged soul-jazz balladry, oud and harpsichord driven 60s technicolour psychedelia, dense modernistic string quartet writing, and wide-as-the-western skies panoramic pedal steel with sepia-toned 12-string.

“This classy folk-rock duo flip from artsy 1960s pop to psychedelic gospel with an enviable elegance.”
