Hugh Harris

Kooks guitarist Hugh Harris' stunning self-titled debut solo album is one of love and loss, strength and tragedy, introspection and self-discovery. It's an intimate diary of the last ten years but also a tour de force of imagination. On a record embracing the chamber orchestrations of Beirut or Sufjan Stevens, psychedelic pop, Dr Dre syncopation, Paul Simon's exotic worldly tones, Debussy arabesques and Disney theme strings, you'll find songs about train crashes, alien love affairs and dizzying lyrical montages from sixteen years in one of indie rock's greatest modern success stories; snapshot scenes from Morocco, St Petersburg and Singapore.
