Low Harness will release their debut album, Salvo, via Krautpop! on 6th December. Today, the UK band share third single from the new album, “Bloodplay”, featuring Broadcast-inspired vocals soaring over eerie pop melodies.

Channelling atonality and noise alongside expansive shoegaze and hypnotic krautrock, Salvo captures a sense of instability and unknown terrors; political unrest, impending and current wars, economic crisis, environmental collapse and the loss of loved ones.

Vocalist and guitarist Hannah Gledhill says of the song and accompanying video:

“Bloodplay is about the lengths people go to for pleasure, to escape from the banality of everyday existence and act out their most subversive urges. Even if we do not give in to these fantasies, or are too afraid to realise them: a place exists in our imagination where we cannot be judged playing them out.

Low Harness was born in 2023 when they met through working at Penryn DIY hub the Fish Factory Arts Space. With Hannah and Martin Pease favouring alternative tunings, it was only a matter of time before they were writing together. Joined by Ed Shellard on drums and Alex Harmer on bass, the record emerged quickly after practising in a friend’s garage, with sonic touchpoints including 90s noise rock, Sonic Youth, Wire, MBV, Glenn Branca, and Einstürzende Neubauten. To finish writing Salvo, they took part in a week’s residency at local venue The Cornish Bank, before heading to an old 19th century chapel to record.
