The artwork is nice but not sure if it worth buying since there is more interesting music that is coming from montreal.
So happy with the scene here! we are lucky enought.
cant discuss music tastes, but Harvee’s music will definitely find its place in my cd collection.
Sorry for the double post M-C! Let me explain about Harvee. I know its a matter of tastes but I just found weird those guy sounding brits with this big accent. It’s not about being french quebecois and sing in english its more than that and it doesnt help standing out. Belive me I tried to like, I’ve saw them one time live. Got a bit bored. maybe trying to hard to do intellectual music without a bit of soul. still its listenable. that is I found ok.
To each his own, obviousl, but for the record I’ve played with Harvee back in late ’04, they’re really nice people. It’s understandable that they would try to mimic their influences (won’t be long before this mile-end scene is a thing of the past anyway — how quickly people forget our prior international cred for french-metal/stoner…). Being a “Mogwai” fan, I can relate to those who cry “fowl” with the broken-social-scene-esque Montreal acts attracting some sort of hype — but give em’ a shot while they can enjoy an indie spotlight — wouldn’t you?
Bottom line is that they’re all VERY talented musicians, eventually they will find their own sound, I’m sure of it. I’m definately buying this. Peace!
harvee? no soul? influences? how can you be totally original? you have to give this album a try i own it and am really glad i do. you can find obvious comparaisons all day long but when push comes to shove harvee is a great sounding, intense and thought provoking band. my 2 cents…
This is a must !
I follow these guys since the beginning of the group and they are good. Eh… did i said good ? They are great ! Brit, new-wave and old influences, a great and winning mix. I’m down with this cd, realy a must !!! Go and dive in it ! Gooooo Harvee !!
