Los Angeles indie folk/Americana rock band Harriet just released their EP Tell The Right Story on January 31st. The band played the Satellite on January 16th. Check out photos from their set below thanks to Marcello Ambriz and head over to harrietmusic.com to download Tell The Right Story for free.

Tell The Right Story, the debut EP from Los Angeles band Harriet is now available for free download at HarrietMusic.Com. Fronted by former Dawes member Alex Casnoff, the Los Angeles based quartet will celebrate the release of the EP with a headlining performance at LA’s Harvard and Stone on Thursday, February 2nd.
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.
“Hints at some of Dawes’ more dynamic moments while capturing Casnoff’s own unique emotional delivery.”
Paste
“Nodding to Wilco with the right touch of Queens of the Stone Age-style grit, Harriet eloquently transform alternative rock… elegantly ethereal and heart-wrenchingly honest. From sparsely soothing piano passages to dreamy distorted hooks, this is the best story the indie world has produced in a long time…”
ARTISTdirect
“… Notably cinematic in nature with pointedly dramatic lyrics and melodies. “I Slept With All Your Mothers” is an aching indie rock number, as heavy in parts as it is forlorn.”
RCRD LBL
“Like the lovechild of Neutral Milk Hotel and Wilco, delivered twenty years late. It’s a full-bodied elixir for the heartbreak of a crashing American Dream.”
