The Agency… land on our shores with atmospheric new collaboration with The Samphires, Harbour Song.
By Graeme Smith
New to our pages, The Agency… is a Newcastle-based band led by Steven K Driver and including Steve Beyer, Garry Cosgrove, Andy Ludbrook, and Scott Wall. The debut single from their upcoming album sees them team up with The Samphires’ Elise Shields and Rosa Thomas.
The single comes complete with an animated video to further build its strong sense of atmosphere. Its call and response vocals bring to mind the wonderful collaborative album between Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan while also giving us something beautifully unique. Storytelling lyrics will have you gripped.
The Agency… will be playing across England in November with a return to the Northeast for two Newcastle shows at The Grove on 7 December and Two By Two Brewery and Tap Room on 14 December for a free, secret Christmas show.
Harbour Song is out now, available to buy as a digital track on Bandcamp. You can watch its video below.
