Resonate Artist Of The Week : Gus Harrower

This week’s Artist Of The Week title goes to Gus Harrower. Widely regarded as one of Scotland's most innovative young musicians, he has become a regular feature of the Edinburgh music scene, performing in a range of venues across the country; from Edinburgh's Sneaky Petes, to the O2 in Glasgow and, most notably - a packed-out Wembley Arena.

Having drawn comparisons to Bon Iver and Jack Garrett, his ability to write and perform infectious anthems has been recognised on BBC Radio Scotland, Scottish Alternative Music Awards and others. His latest instalment ‘The Walls’ demonstrates where his strength lies as an artist. Lyrically, the song explores unfamiliarity and estrangement in relationships. Speaking about the narrative of the song Gus says:

“The story begins in a dream of unrecognisable voices in an unknown location and over time begins to paint a full picture of a relationship between two people.”

The song emerged naturally but has evolved through many different instrumentations. Gus spent a great deal of time perfecting its production with thoughtful attention to detail.

With an incoming EP due soon, we highly urge you to go and support this exceptional songwriter - Facebook, Instagram & Twitter.
