Orphic (Signed) Black Vinyl

The new album was created earlier this year in a furry of unexpected activity, Orphic is a more somber and quieter affair for Harcourt.January is a brutal, deceptive month for Englanders, Harcourt remarked. With the gentle threat of those idealistic new years resolutions hanging over you like an unwanted monkey on your back, the taxman rattling his hungry coffers amp the British rain pummeling down relentlessly, its more than understanding why people detest it so much. This year, I decided to not have any resolutions other than hibernate in my studio, the Wolf Cabin. After about four weeks of scribbling, jumping from piano to guitar to whatever and babbling like a madman into the recording app on my phone, I emerged into the more forgiving month of February 2025 with this record, Orphic.Harcourt already has several solo performances lined up to support Orphic beginning in October in Sweden and then dates as direct support for Starsailor in the UK in November.The title is a word that Ive been obsessed with since seeing the film Orphee, by Jean Cocteau it just took me somewhere else and stayed in my psyche for ages, in the way that any David Lynch or Metropolis or Down By Law or A Matter of Life amp Death do the meaning of Orphic is beyond otherworldly understanding mysterious secret esoteric I feel writing songs is very much like this, at the beginning of January I had no idea what I was going to write but it happened amp the songs emerged like a runaway train bursting out of the darkness.
