Hailing from Sheffield in the North of England, and a resident of NZ since the late nineties, the music of Joseph E Harrison reflects his experience of almost forty years as a performer and songwriter, on both sides of the world.
His most recent release, Therapy For A Cynic, is a collection of songs spanning the last twenty-five years, reimagined and reworked through years of studio time and live performance.
Incorporating loud guitars, feedback, multi-layered vocal harmonies, orchestral strains and dark, ambiguous lyrics, Therapy For A Cynic delves into questions of love, regret, betrayal, obsession and
insanity.
Although Therapy For A Cynic is an entirely solo project, written, performed and produced in his home studio, many of the songs featured are regularly performed live by Tower Of Flints – for whom he is the lead singer.
Previous projects include Wellington-based shoegaze/rock outfit Brave New Void.
He is also a co-organiser and producer for the Outland Sessions – an annual week-long song writing event attended by musicians from all over New Zealand.
Therapy For A Cynic is available on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music and all other platforms.
