Episode 136: Harry The Nightgown

For Episode 136 of Look At My Records!, I was very excited to chat with the Bay Area duo Harry The Nightgown. The duo of Sami Perez (The She’s, Cherry Glazer) and Spencer Hartling just released their self-titled debut last week, and it’s a beautiful amalgamation of art-rock and maximalist experimental pop. Hartling and Perez recorded the album over the last year and a half at Tiny Telephone Studios in San Francisco, where they both also work as recording engineers. Tune in to hear how most of the songs came together while they were tinkering around in the studio, the lessons they learned from working at Tiny Telephone, the pros and cons of recording the album in a setting that they’re very familiar with, how their creative styles complement each other, and a whole lot more! We also geeked out over XTC and spun some additional records from Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Mantles, and Palberta.You can purchase Harry The Nightgown’s debut album on limited edition vinyl via Bandcamp. A cassette edition of the record is also available via Topshelf Records. Stream the album on your platform of choice! Keep up with the band by following them on Instagram.
