Bio
The latest release from Essex indie, Sitting Target, is the gorgeous new album from acoustic songwriter, Nicola Harrison.
Under Water tell the story of one girl’s search for true love.

Press
“…Although essentially a folk album, Harrison is prepared to mix tradition with her own unique sense of eeriness and the results are often inspired. The Kate Bush-like ‘Weekend Fete’ temptingly offers “a penny for my cake” which may represent remarkably good value in these hard times but its underlying suggestions reveal somewhat earthier concerns.
Harrison’s reference points are varied and unpredictable. The jangle of Cherry Red Records can be detected on the dreamy ‘Too Easy’ and also ‘This Might Be Love’, whereas there’s a Richard Hawley-style “twang” to a ‘A Bridge Over Time’; a track which skilfully combines easy going verses with an urgent chorus. Yet it’s ‘Behind The Lens’ that proves to be the masterstroke as Harrison’s pure yet haunted vocals are set to subtle echo chamber effects.
….there’s something genuinely otherworldly about her songs as Harrison’s wounded, vulnerable vocals float alongside some perfectly judged arrangements.”
