The Wisdom of Harry came together at the height of new-revival punk rock (<a href="spotify:artist:5UqTO8smerMvxHYA5xsXb6">Sonic Youth</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6olE6TJLqED3rqDCT0FyPh">Nirvana</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7LuYiSXiWs86rwWJjEEgB9">Mudhoney</a>) in the early '90s, but didn't achieve the major hype like their post-punk counterparts. Composed of the aesthetics similar to <a href="spotify:artist:3G3Gdm0ZRAOxLrbyjfhii5">My Bloody Valentine</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:34UhPkLbtFKRq3nmfFgejG">Mogwai</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:1QPWAsWIjRcTfvY5uH8dov">Catherine Wheel</a>, the Wisdom of Harry were associated with the ethereal elements of the Wurlitzer Jukebox label and <a href="spotify:artist:0lanWnqevUdaLHZT3jPyhs">Weather Prophets</a> singer/songwriter Pete Astor is the face behind the project. After making a name for itself with the likes of Andrew Weatherall and <a href="spotify:artist:2vJObElaIZWYDLpiXiJMo9">Cornelius</a>, the Wisdom of Harry signed to Matador in the latter '90s. Stars of Super 8, which was a collection of Wisdom of Harry's earlier material, was released in 1999. House of Binary was issued a year later. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi
