Over a catalog of six albums, Native Harrow have produced a discography
of "rich, engrossing records" and "instant classics" while single-mindedly
following their own artistic code, acquiescing only to the exigence of the
song: each song its own world with its own rules. Formed a decade ago,
Native Harrow spent their frst fve or six years crisscrossing the United
States and Canada on numerous tours, averaging more than 150
concerts per year in 47 states and 4 provinces, on the back of two selfreleased albums, Ghost (2015) and Sorores (2017)
In 2019, they released Happier Now, partnering with London alt-country stalwarts
Loose Records. The record garnered glowing reviews, with Rough Trade selecting
it for its album of the month, writing "Beautifully soaring... rolling grooves ground
languid and dreamy clearwater shimmers of sound." The critical acclaim and
Americana chart success of the album prompted three back-to-back UK tours in
2019 and early 2020, ultimately leading to a three-year stint living and touring in
the UK and Europe. In this time, Native Harrow released two more critically
acclaimed records with Loose; Closeness (2020) and Old Kind of Magic (2022),
playing for audiences ranging from rock clubs in Norway and Sweden to opera
halls in Portugal, and every stop in- between, as well as performing at festivals
such as BST Hyde Park (supporting the Eagles and Robert Plant & Alison Kraus),
Greenman Festival, Black Deer Festival, The Great Escape, Celtic Connections,
Moseley Folk Festival, SXSW, and many more.
Following the eruption of its title track, Side A of "Divided Kind" transitions nimbly
through hazy tremolo- laden dusty canyons, past an intimate soulful love letter,
and towards a moody anthem of devotion buoyed by propulsive grooves, before
ultimately settling on a gentle bird's-eye-view of love and transcendence. Side B
opens with the debut single, "Goin' Nowhere" a soul transmission over incendiary
bass and undulating layers of guiro, congas, tambourines, shakers, and
handclaps that sidesteps into moments of infnite dial-toned burnished, Rhodespropelled soul-jazz and self-assured blues rock a gogo before ending in a spectral
folk reading on celestial meditation.
"Divided Kind" was produced and recorded by the pair, in their home studio
surrounded by the vintage acoustic and electric guitars, dusty semi- functional
amplifers, and out- of- date Rhodes, B3, piano, and assorted percussion they've
grown accustomed to. Chicago-based Alex Hall was again drafted to add drums
and to mix, and Philadelphia drummer and engineer Joshua Friedman mastered
the record. London-based musician Joe Harvey-Whyte added the pedal steel to
"Borrowing Time", with all other voices and instruments being performed by Tuel
and Harms. "Divided Kind" is available everywhere September 13 on Different
Time Records.
