MFMB
describe “Harvest” as possessing the Swedish band’s “specific kind of gloomy
ambience.” The moodiness is consistent through most of the single. The level of
attractiveness is polarizing, since many readers aren’t monitoring Indie Obsessive
posts to hear this brand of music. But we strongly recommend the guitar solo near
the end of “Harvest.”
Interestingly, MFMB have dual drummers
playing duplicate roles. The instrument synchronization was common during the
wall-of-sound days of Phil Spector. But the doubling is not often seen in the
Indie Universe.
“Harvest” is a song about the fear of
losing it all. The press materials explain the MFMB single as “A return to the
fatalistic Krautrock that defined their early work, the propulsive Harvest,
steeped in the doom impending, seems however to end in a future unknown. A
timely expression of dark uncertainty.”
The
members of MFMB are Sebastian Hedberg (bass), Joakim Lindberg (guitar), Christine
Björk (guitar, vocals), Kristoffer Bäckström (drums), Vic Narin (vocals, synth),
and Erik Nilsson (drums). They are based in Malmö/Stockholm, Sweden. “Harvest”
is from their recently released album “Sugar.” Again quoting press
materials:
"’Sugar’ is seven years in the making, marking nine years since our last full-length release ‘Colossus’ (2013). It has been a bumpy ride, the band remark on the entirety of their new album. The tours following ‘Colossus’ took their toll, leaving us in a state of internal friction - infighting basically. Then when it finally came time to work on ‘Sugar,’ when it was decided the process of composing songs should be a completely democratic one, tensions increased further. We were not always the best of friends. Priorities changed. Members quit, then joined again. It was never easy. But we feel you can hear it on the album, how every song is a result of differing opinions fighting it out until we landed. But in the end, it's MFMB, but ringing purer than ever before."

Lyrics of “Harvest” by MFMB
One step away, from the sunshine phase,
One step away, could've made this great
And away it goes, and away we go, and away it
goes, and away it all goes
We breathed, we lived, and we learned to love
But the seasons came, and the harvest spoiled
And away it goes, and away we go, and away it
goes, and away it all goes
One step away, from the glory days,
Always too late, they never came
And away it goes, and away we go, and away it
goes, and away it all goes
