Harlow's Monkeys

Harlow’s Monkeys is the project of San Francisco songwriter/producer Tommy P. The music is sparse, delicate, and dynamic. With lyrics that take listeners on a journey, Harlow’s Monkeys spin surprising stories that are at once poignant and humorous. The combination of Tommy’s cutting narrative with the Harlow’s Monkeys leaves audiences feeling like they’ve just had a great conversation with an intimate friend.

Harlow’s Monkeys latest release, Gravity, is an anthemic dance-rock song with elements of folk guitars, and EDM styled breakdowns. “Tipping you into a kaleidoscopic whirlpool of music, the band reach out into the soundscape with intense intimacy” - Nicole Mendes, The Other Side Reviews

Harlow’s Monkeys noted release, Fresh Terror Machine, is a gut-reaction to the killing of George Floyd. A song described by Stereo Stickman as “Powerful, beautiful, heartbreaking – a bold reminder of all that we have seen and learned and reacted to this year; and what so many face every day of their lives.” It is a somber reflection on the cruelty and disregard for black life in American society.

Their previous release from May 17, 2019, was a LP entitled Several Lives and Several Deaths. It is an album about the struggle for meaning and identity in a world that is changing very quickly. Songs like “Exceptional” and “Monument” deal with the immortality projects of modern living. It is reflective, intimate, anthemic, and cathartic all at once.
