about

CHANNEL 4 PLANET SOUND
A dark, drunken waltz, Kevin Craig's cavernous vocals out-gloom Tindersticks as the mournful strings kidnap your soul. Equally grimy and gorgeous. 8/10.

DIE SHELLSUIT DIE
"Sounds how Bon Iver might if they only played at wakes. [It] crackles with revolutionary vitriol and melancholy."

GOD IS IN THE TV
"It is impossible not to fall in love with vocalist K Craig's apocalyptic tone. Last Harbour are in touch with the old Manchester, channelling the ghosts of the industrial age, a gloom that predates 'Closer' and 'Unknown Pleasures' by a century and a half. Those who possess a morbid curiosity or an appreciation for the darker arts will be in for a treat."

TERRASCOPE
"Comparisons to Arcade Fire and Nick Cave aren't far from the mark. Great stuff."

+++

This 10” vinyl EP (limited to just 350 copies) from Manchester-based collective Last Harbour features one of the standout songs from last year's 'Dead Fires & the Lonely Spark' album, plus three others from the same sessions that are equally beautiful but also bleaker and heavier in mood. They’re the perfect uncomfortable bedfellows on a record that takes the warning fables of Edgar Allen Poe and weds them to music of dark passion and fervour.

The title track ‘Saint Luminous Bride’ is twisted, off-kilter rock that revels in the flesh and blood allegiances of a deranged wedding party while 'The Rifleman & The Bird' is an eastern drone lit by lilting folk-violin. 'Brothers' begins low and dreamy but resolves like a Russian polka filtered through a Godspeed You Black Emperor!-style crescendo. The brief string piece 'Hewn' closes the EP on a haunting and tender note. The package features a stunning sleeve design by singer K Craig, each one screenprinted by hand.
