Edmonton guitarist Jon Harris has signed to Epictronic Records to release his debut record. Parallel Heart — an instrumental foray into bluesy, synth-riddled funk — arrives December 13.
Parallel Heart was recorded at Harris's home studio, where he played, recorded and produced the guitar, bass, drums and keys himself. The only instrumental help he received was from his son, Gabriel, who plays drums on the track "Mehnoynoy."
Harris also credits his wife as the major inspiration for the album. He crafted the instrumentation as such to tell stories about busy life and navigating relationships, all without ever singing a single word.
With today's announcement, Harris has shared Parallel Heart's first single, "Entitled." It's a looping track that turns noodling guitar solos into an optimistic resolve. Listen to it below.
