Taking influence from bands like Portishead to Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Little Hart is a mega-collaboration of multi-instrumentalists who layer their many sounds in a dreamy, harmonic mix. They say their dream gig would be anywhere electricity isn’t a concern and where there are fairies—if that doesn’t give you an impression of the dreaminess Little Hart embodies in their original tunes, check out their single “Maybe/Lo” to get a taste of what they do. You will be immediately drawn in by the harmonic filled acoustic guitar, the string accompaniment, and the charming voice of the lead female vocalist, who channels Cat Power in her breathy vocal delivery. When the bassy male vocal harmony comes in, look out for chills. Already veterans of the live local Sydney scene, they’ve just graced the stage at The Lair for round one of Emergenza Festival Australia, where they played an electrifying set.
