Her's Share New Single HARVEY From Upcoming Album INVITATION TO HER'S Out August 24

Today, jangle pop oddballs Her's share "Harvey," the third single from their forthcoming debut album Invitation to Her's due August 24 via Heist or Hit.

Following on from last year's nine-track compilation Songs Of Her's, the Liverpool duo's debut LP will be their most significant step yet. "Harvey" ushers in the summer with its lilting choruses and peculiar verses perfectly straddling the line between the mad scientist bedroom experimentation of Ariel Pink and the slick production values of Scritti Politti.

Their whimsical pop effortlessly weaves in The Doldrums-style oddity and un-self conscious play with a relish for R&B melodies to make for a sound that is rapidly garnering a fervent and loyal fanbase.

They've been met with a glowing reception from Radio 1, 6Music, DIY, The Guardian, FADER, Stereogum, NME, The Line of Best Fit, Wonderland, Pigeons and Planes, and Dork, and conquered a respectable chunk of the global circuit already through shows at Visions, Green Man, The Great Escape, SXSW and in Bangkok. Her's next spate of touring will see them HIT THE ROAD throughout the UK, after playing a sold-out London show at Moth Club earlier in May, before slots at Citadel, Leopallooza, Neighborhood Festival, Tramlines capping it all off with an Autumn headline tour ending in a London headline at The Dome.

With their cohesive synthesis of their many different influences, "Harvey" distills everything that makes Her's such a fun and beguiling group to follow right now. Band members Audun Laading and Stephen Fitzpatrick may both be Merseyside migrants, the latter from Barrow and the former from Norway, but the duo have made a musical home of Liverpool. Brought together through a chance encounter in a university canteen by their shared love of off-kilter humor and art, Her's have shaped the very texture of Liverpool alongside peers like The Orielles, Trudy and the Romance, and Pizzagirl. The nucleus of the Merseyside scene surrounding these groups finds its identity through humor and imagination. They're voracious consumers of music across styles and eras, and it shows in their mutant retro-futurist sound. All things considered, Invitation To Her's is already proving to be one of the most free and inspired indie rock debuts this island has seen for a while.

Invitation to Her's is released Aug 24 via Heist or Hit and third single "Harvey" is out now.
