November 30, 2011 - Los Angeles, CA - Harriet, a
new Los Angeles-based band fronted by former Dawes member Alex Casnoff, today
announced the details of their debut EP, titled Tell The Right Story,
which will be self-released on January 31, 2012. The EP's gripping opening
track "I Slept With All Your Mothers" is currently premiering at PasteMagazine.Com.
Inspired largely by classic storytelling and the spectacle
of the movies, Tell The Right Story weaves eerily romantic ballads
with unwavering anthems, and features classic elements of Americana and folk
music contrasted with futuristic electronic samples and beats.
"I wanted it to feel big... cinematic. I wanted every
song to be a movie, " said Casnoff. "I wanted it to feel like an
occasion. I wanted it to feel like a wedding."
Casnoff was formerly a member of notable Los Angeles bands
Dawes and PAPA, bands both named after grandfathers. In flipping the
tradition, Casnoff decided to name the band after his grandmother, Harriet.
After touring the country for years with his prior bands and with a growing
arsenal of his own songs, Casnoff stepped into the studio in June 2011, armed
with his nicest suit and a bottle of fine tequila, to record what would
become Tell The Right Story. The result is a striking collection of
songs that draw on the influence of classic American singer-songwriters,
film, electronic music, and Casnoff's experience as a touring musician.
"I may have seen every gas station in the country,
but the America I feel indebted to is not in the past, at least not that far.
I am a product of my time. We make music about the retro-future. Music about
coping. Anti motivational motivational music."
Harriet is Alex Casnoff, Aaron Folb (bass), Henry Kwapis
(drums), and Adam Gunther (guitar). Tell The Right Story was produced
by Sean O'Brien and recorded in Los Angeles and Sacramento. Live dates will
be announced shortly.
