Up-and-coming rock artist Harry Eley says it all with his latest EP “Me”, a 5-track roller coaster into the wild world of emotion, self-awareness, and sound-story-telling. Clocking in at just over 21 minutes, the project delves deeply into the human psyche as it grapples with love, frustration, and the bittersweet layers of personal growth.
On the opening track “Thinking Of You,” he establishes that tone immediately, bristling with the raw and unfiltered energy of rock as he pushes his emotive lyrics through punkish guitar riffs and powerful rhythms. The song immediately grabs listeners with its raw emotion and irresistible energy. It’s a cut that sounds both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary.
The downturn continues to “Half The Problem,” a moment of reflection before the EP plunges into the stunning “Jewels.” It glimmers as one of Eley’s bittersweet anthems, delicately covered in atmospheric production and intricate instrumentation. And each song layers on the last, creating an emotional arc that feels cinematic in its reach.
And closing with “Happy Hate Story,” Eley offers his most cinematic and sonically enveloping moment yet, an echoing guitar soundscape colored by tension, release, and resolution. It’s a fitting close to an album that is as tight and resonant in theme as it is emotionally rich.
Harry Eley shows himself as a force to be reckoned with in the world of alternative and indie rock, mixing vulnerability with grit in a way that will appeal not only to music fans but also music critics everywhere.
