Three years on from debut success of 'Satellite Man', Satellite and the Harpoonist’s second album, The Pryor Sessions, gleans inspiration from Serge Gainsbourg, Allen Toussaint and 1970s and ’80s film culture.
Formed in 2020, the members of Satellite and the Harpoonist had crossed in and out of each other’s orbits over the last decade as they found themselves on Northern Canadian late night festival stages, playing in other bands.
When faced with a growing body of music that didn’t fit with his award winning duo Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer, award-winning lead singer Hall took a “leap of faith” and reached out to drummer and pencilina inventor Bradford Reed of King Missile III. Percussionist Theo Vincent from The Boom Booms and keyboardist Geoff Hilhorst of The Deep Dark Woods soon joined the mix.
These four musicians coalesced into an improvisational dream team, capable of spectacular live performances, players who hail from locations as diverse as the sounds they bring: Vancouver Island, Brooklyn, East Vancouver and Banff.
“A singer whose voice has a jazzy edge of elegant flair, with a delivery that can be at times sincere, at others largely playful,” writes Cory Stumpf of Hall in Canadian Beats about Satellite Man’s title track, which has been streamed more than a million times.
Of the band’s song Justine, Mike Usinger from The Georgia Strait writes, “Soulfully sexy, but in a totally unvarnished and sweat-dripping acid-funk way."
