I cannot be the only one feeling that – perhaps – today we have lost some of the political and rebellious charge music used to have. We changed our society through it, established civil rights, and expressed our political opinions. Lately, that doesn’t seem to happen, with artists preferring commercial validation over personal integrity. In that regard, Harlow’s Monkeys go against the trend, releasing a fiercely political EP, ‘when the world for humans end’.
Emerging from San Francisco, the eclectic rock outfit seeks to highlight the issues and hypocrisies of a world lost to late-stage capitalism. Headed by vocalist and songwriter Tommy P., Harlow’s Monkeys make a grand statement, focusing on capitalism’s impact on liberal urban environments. Made up of 7 tongue-in-cheek offerings, including the spoken intro, ‘when the world for humans end’, the record will positively empower the listener into critical thinking, asking the crucial questions: “Should our society change direction? How will the future look like?”.
This EP is an essential listen for those with an interest in reflective and transformative music. Sonically, the record is built over mellow and eclectic indie rock, fully supporting the soothing and hypnotising vocals. Harlow’s Monkeys have crafted a record that is a testament to the strength of their artistry and the resilience of their spirit.
