Throughout 2024, and marking three full moons, Harvestman (a.k.a. Steve Von Till) is presenting Triptych, a three-part album cycle. This album trilogy is a distillation of his unique approach that finds a continuity amongst the fragmented, treating all its myriad musical sources and reference points not as building bricks, but as tuning forks for a collective ancestral resonance. The music resides in that liminal space between the fundamental and the imaginary, the intrinsic and the speculative.
Harvestman shares the shuddering “Herne’s Oak”, the final preview from Triptych Part Three, which is released on 17th October via Neurot Recordings to coincide with the Hunter Moon. The album features very special guests, including The Bug, Wayne Adams, Sanford Parker and Al Cisneros – to name a few.
About “Herne’s Oak”, Steve says; “‘Herne’s Oak’ is the third track Dave French and I composed on the old torn open steel water tank I accidentally destroyed with my snow plow a few winters back. What began as a few simple beats accompanied by scraping the steel tank with deer antlers morphed into something entirely different and infinitely more atmospheric once we handed it over to our friend, Sanford Parker. He took the few elements we provided, recontextualised them, added his own and crafted an ultra-moody mix. The subsonic void moments get me every time I hear it.”
