It’s been almost a year to the day since Harry Eley‘s debut EP saw the light of day. We had the chance to cover the record quite extensively, even interviewing Eley himself. At the time, we wondered whether we were in fact witnessing the start of something great. The answer to that question has now become a resoundingly positive yes, as we uncover Harry’s comeback piece ‘Killing the High’, ahead of a second EP expected for 2027.
From a sonic standpoint, the single unfolds with the sort of charisma that you would expect from a much bigger and more mature act. Eley’s vocals feel incredibly in control, crowning the tight, uplifting guitar-powered euphoria that propels the record. ‘Killing the High’ becomes an intoxicating hook throughout the song, a sign that Harry has taken a step forward in terms of songwriting efficiency and overall imagery. This is true British indie, in all of its jugged, expansive force.
Proudly dubbed as “my best song to date” by Eley himself, ‘Killing the High’ is a true indie standout, a hard-hitting, slick anthem that explodes into a playful, bold chorus, the sort of catchy and relatable matter that could entice a whole nation. To be honest, Harry Eley holds a lot of potential on his side, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see him step on bigger and bigger stages from next year.
