Details:
Pocket Full of Outrage is the seventh installment in the ongoing musical mind-dump of Andy Harper. Situated in his cozy but well equipped home studio, Andy continues to reveal the curiously clever places he likes to take his songs. The recording process for this release (and those prior) is what brings these compositions to life. In Andy's words, each of these songs are "their own entities which have lived and died, within the span of four to five hours". He writes while recording and therefore is able to deliver to you a completely original musical thought. Songs that aren't scrutinized, written and re-written, produced and over produced, songs that were born in a moment and documented digitally, purely. If you've ever wondered what music sounds like the very moment its being written, you'll wonder no more.

The compositions on Pocket Full of Outrage are steeped in metaphor, par for the course for Mr. Harper. "Most of the songs - I'm not sure exactly what they're about...I have a general idea but don't really understand them until later in time, the right time. But some phrases...hooks, whatever, are very intentional...". The melodies are inspired, the tonal progressions are easy to fall into, and each song has hidden nuggets of extreme beauty that you'll only find if you can make to the end of the sometimes-wandering compositions. If you're looking for a fresh experience you can sink your headphones and your train of thought into, Pocket Full of Outrage will do it for you.
