Harlow's Monkeys
Spearheaded by Bay Area native songwriter and producer, Tommy P, Harlow’s Monkeys is a band that has a dynamic sound that ranges from delicate intimate truths to explosive rhythms. The music is characterized by delicate instrumentation and cutting narratives that blend poignant stories with a sense of humour. Tommy’s lyrical style is very simple, yet can address with full poignancy the heart of the matter, whether it’s unrequited love or the existential ennui that plagues us. Their latest release, When the world for humans end, is an experimental-rock album with elements of folk guitars and intricate soundscapes, while their noted release Fresh Terror Machine is a powerful reflection on the cruelty and disregard for black life in American society following the killing of George Floyd. Harlow’s Monkeys' previous album, Several Lives and Several Deaths, explores the struggle for meaning and identity in a rapidly changing world, with songs like "Exceptional" and "Monument" dealing with modern immortality projects. The band has been praised for its intense intimacy and ability to reach out into the souls of their audience, leaving listeners feeling like they’ve just had a great conversation with an intimate friend.
