Answered by: Alex Arpino

Check Out The Autumn Isles

Single title? Harvest In The Night

What’s the song about? Harvest
In The Night explores the cycle of thought, action and consequence, while looking at the habits we feed subconsciously.

How long did it take to write/record? I was working on a few songs at the time; I had the chorus first then ended up using parts from a few other tracks and piecing it all together over a few days.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? Harvest In The Night is taken from our forthcoming second album A Bird Called Cognition. Due out in August.

What was inspiring you during the songs writing and recording? I was reading a lot of books on consciousness, cognition and meditation at the time, while listening to a fair bit of Wilco. Quite an introspective period as my father had recently passed away.

We’ll like this song if we like... Midlake, Wilco, Morning Phase-era Beck, Doves, Shins.

Do you play it differently live? The album version is five plus minutes, the current release is a radio-friendly version. We perform the full album version live.
