Asthmatic Harp – Things We Learned To Live 
With EP
Release Date: Out Now
Danish singer-songwriter
Asthmatic Harp (aka Hannah Fredsgaard Larsen) is back with her new EP and it’s
oh-so-appropriate for 2020 title, ‘Things We Learned To Live With’. The opening
track, ‘Bird of Paradise’, kicks things off with a meandering and folky
acoustic melody, tinkling ivories and Fredsgaard’s trademark wispy vocal – the
listener is immediately transported to another and more fantastical world.
Recent single ‘To The Boats’ features
the vocal harmonies of Sophie Kilburn and it is honestly a therapeutic
experience just listening to the easy beauty of these two voices intertwining
over the simple and understated acoustic strum. On ‘Limbo’ there is a slightly
more summery vibe to proceedings, musically speaking, but there is always a slight
tone of mournfulness in the vocals which, when accompanied by doleful bit of
woodwind, gives this a bittersweet flavour that is irresistible.
We are brought back to earth by
the very real title of ‘Drones Over Gatwick’ which features the talents of Kid
Jupiter but still maintains that folk heart with whimsical harmonies and an
earthy soul. The final track is ‘Five Day Forecast’, a song so delicate and
paper thin that you dare not touch it, only listen and admire it’s fragile
beauty.
