New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Bred out of a mish-mash collective of Brisbane (AUS) bands not dissimilar to the Perth strong hold of Spinning Top Music's collective of Tame Impala, Pond, Pete Bibby, GUM, and Nicholas Albrook and The Growl - Morning
Harvey is the psychedelic drenched pop brainchild of lead singer and songwriter Spencer White, featuring his brother Jack White, Lewis Stephenson (Orphans Orphans, Moses Gunn Collective, The Belligerents, The Furrs), Jim Griffin (The Furrs, The Belligerents), and Steve Kempnich (Orphans Orphans, and formerly of Last Dinosaurs and Millions).
While this dynamic seemingly remains a tangled web of talented musicians, the inherent support and interdependence has created somewhat of a Brisbane cooperative, wherein Morning
Harvey are emerging with their own brand of hallucinogenic pop.
Over the last year Morning
Harvey developed a hometown stronghold through consistent live performances alongside Royal Blood, Deep Sea Arcade, and Millions (to name a few), a BIGSOUND showcase, and two headline tours. Now, with new management from Rick Chazan (The Church, Emma Louise) and booking by Stephen Wade at Select Music, Morning
Harvey are setting their sights on big things for 2015.
Lyrically driven, contemplative, and insightful - hailing inspiration from pop music of the 60's and 70's along with a wash of Australian classics you would find in your parents record collection - Morning
Harvey is singer Spencer's creative outlet for meaningful lyricism, powerful performance, and on-stage Bowie-esque hip twisting theatricality in a transparent musical world of manufactured pop stars and fading trends.
The introductory lead-in single off their upcoming five track EP (due in May), "Smith Street Swap Meet" is an undeniable track oozing with shining choruses, sunshine psychedelia, melodic hooks, and spiralling psych-pop guitar lines.
"From the moment the opening guitar tones echo and Spencer's dreamy vocals weave between the wavering sonics, one is instantly lost in a wall of breezy neo-psychedelica akin to the likes of
Primal Scream but with a modern Aussie refinement." - tonedeaf.com.au
