Editorial Reviews With Harvester in the background, Dearest, Crown became the focus of their songwriting and performance activities. Harvester's Steinberg and Harrasser were joined by Ryan Martin, also a capable singer-songwriter, and cellist and bass player Leif Webb. All fours members hail, curiously enough, from the small Northern California community of Redding.
About the Artist
Portland Oregon's Dearest, Crown is a drummerless quartet that mixes simple melodies with bowed, fretted, and wind instrumentation. The band had its origins as a diversion for Todd Steinberg and singer/songwriter Sean Harrasser. Both are members of Harvester, an indie-pop four piece with a loyal northern California following. Harvester was signed to Geffen (DGC) in the mid 90s, but the band’s relationship with the label was short lived. Following their major label debut, Me Climb Mountain, the four band members moved to 3 different states, yet Harvester would release three more full length albums and one EP with Northern California's Lather Records and German label Trocadero Records.
Album Description
The music wanders from bluegrass and folk balladry to pop reminiscent of the Verlaines & Neutral Milk Hotel. The words are a significant component of their compositions, dealing at equal levels of earnestness with geomorphologic phenomena, mathematical quandaries, and more conventional lyrical topics.
