Den store singer-songwriteren fra London brakdebuterte med ”Here Be Monsters” i 2001. Siden har han jevnt og trutt gitt ut feiende flotte plater, og har holdt flere fantastiske konserter på John DEE. Nå er han aktuell med sitt sjette studioalbum, “Back Into The Woods”, innspilt i legendariske Abbey Road studios.

Melankolikeren har blitt omtalt som poputgaven av Tom Waits og nå er vi klare for ny konsert på John DEE.

Skryt for “Back Into The Woods”:

“…one of the most beautiful, heart-breakingly tender albums of the last year, if not decade, if not ever.” – Clash, 9/10

“…may be his best release to date.” – The Sunday Times

“…elegant 6th album from underrated national treasure.” – Uncut

“…nine gorgeous songs that sit beautifully together.” – The Quietus

“…reflecting wistfully on William Blake and Mozart’s commercial failure…. moments of deft, delicate brilliance here to remind us of what a gifted songwriter he is…. Recorded in one night at Abbey Road…. like being in the front row of an exceptionally cosy concert…. Harcourt’s lovely oaken voice rustles and creaks as if he’s singing directly into the listener’s ear, while the piano chords seem to tremble through your skin…. breathtaking…. a subtle and seductive delight.” – BBC

“…Harcourt alone at the piano, delivering lushly romantic odes to “underdogs” and “the dreamers who pay no heed to good advice”. Lyrics casting him as a repentant roué saved by family life call for a grizzled Tom Waits groan; yet the singer’s gentler tones lend the songs a rousing, optimistic air.” – FT Weekend
