About

Their most ambitious record to date, 'Dead Fires & the Lonely Spark' veers from elegantly orchestrated soundscapes to full-blown electric dramas, encompassing birth, marriage and death along the way. At first, ‘ Dead Fires & The Lonely Spark' might appear to be concerned primarily with the quiet disintegration of relationships, and it certainly focuses on the violence and tenderness of simple human fallibility. Whilst there is no central narrative or character and each song inhabits its own environment, this collection of songs could thematically be considered a modern ‘play for today', concerned as it is with social and moral conscience. But, it is also about how people are dwarfed by things beyond their control, and how they can be held prisoner or set free by circumstance. Working with producer Richard Formby (Spacemen 3, Herman Dune, Dakota Suite) , Last Harbour have turned their backs on the digital revolution, instead using antique equipment to record in glorious analogue onto 2” tape, creating a warm and atmospheric record.

Last Harbour : Science Song by Little Red Rabbit Records

Press

PLAN B
“Great chasmic dramas hide within the swooning dustbowl rumbles of these songs, blackly turbulent like 16 Horsepower or Lift To Experience, with a Wild West baroque feel akin to Okkervil River.”

UNCUT
“Well worth investigating.”

LONDON TOUR DATES
“A brooding, country-noir masterpiece.”

DROWNED IN SOUND
“Bewitching.”

BIG ISSUE
“Like taking a drunken waltz through a candlelit room, Last Harbour delight in all that is nocturnal and sinister.”

TERRORIZER
“Occasionally witty, always elegant, Last Harbour is for the discerning ear.”
