The latest single from The Agency and The Samphires is a masterclass in atmosphere and storytelling, taking you on a darkly ominous journey.

Drawing influence from the likes of Nick Cave, the track blends cinematic themes with a dark aesthetic, which works incredibly well. Featuring the voices of The Samphires’ Elise Shields and Rosa Thomas in a hypnotic call-and-response waltz, the emphasis is firmly on the song’s lyrics.

It’s fortunate then that they really shine building a captivating story that matches the musical background painted by the groups. The whole thing sounds like how I feel the film The Lighthouse would sound if put to music.

The mood is set immediately with the introduction of the deepest of dark synths engulfing your entire ear creating the omnious feel which is reflect within the lyrics.

Lyrically, the track has a fairy tale or nursery rhyme quality, revolving around the “harbour” mentioned within the song’s title, with the duet working well between the two groups.

The whole thing leads to a spooky vibe that suits the season perfectly and is almost certainly one for those who are fans of atmospheric music with well-thought-out lyrics.
