Indie-folk singer-songwriter Harrison Storm’s recently released single, “Stone,” strikes a chord as a heartfelt epiphany on reflection and resilience. Listen to the track, featuring haunting, emotional melodies about embracing solitude.
Storm wrote “Stone” in the worst part of Melbourne’s lockdowns, producing one of the heaviest moments on his forthcoming album. “At its peak, I could barely leave my house,”he says. “I was so anxious, and I had this epiphany that I really needed to work on it. The chorus is, ‘I’d rather be alone than together now,’ but for me, it’s not a negative thing. Ineed to be alone so I can have these reflections. I could’ve gone down such a negative spiral, but with the help around me I was able to be with it and nurture myself within it, so I could come out.” The album’s title, Wonder, Won’t You?, set for release this January 12th via Nettwerk, comes from a lyric in “Stone,” and for Storm, that line says it all: It’s his perspective on life, how he thinks, how he feels, and how he connects to the world. Wonder, Won’t You? is the beginning to a wondrous journey of unbridled introspection into the deepest crevices of his own heart and mind. The debut album is an invitation to join Storm on this adventure – to break down walls and open up.
His vision comes to life through ten songs aching with raw emotion. Intimate and unabridged, the album sees Storm at his most vulnerable, his most sensitive, and his most human. These songs helped him work through his own struggles, and now he hopes they help others do the same. Harrison adds, “This collection of songs feels like it sums up the past few years for me as best I could. There’s a sprinkle of everything I’ve been through. Falling in love, facing and getting through mental health issues and ultimately striving to connect more with myself and the world. It’s been really healing to sit with these songs before I’ve shared them to the world as well, but I can’t wait for people to discover something through this album.”
One dollar from every Wonder, Won’t You? album pre-order and pre-save will be donated to Surfrider Foundation Australia, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the protection of Australia’s waves and beaches through conservation, activism, research, and education.
