Review: Harvester


Harvester
“Hemåt”
(Silence Records)

In 1967, as a student at the Royal Academy of Music on Stockholm, experimental tape composer Bo Anders Persson performed with Terry Riley. The meeting with the genius of minimalism had an effect on Persson as he formed Pärson Sound that year to explore the intersection of the most languid psychedelic rock and the most patient of jazz explorations. This ecstatic aural freedom was documented by the group, later called International Harvester, on “Sov Gott Rose-Marie (Sleep Tight Rose Marie)” and “Hemåt (Homeward)”. But it was not all relentless plodding, as “Kuk-Polska (Cock-Polska)” is strongly rooted in the jaunty folk airs that were an equal inspiration on the seminal Swedish progressive rock group. This reissue includes the title track as bonus material.
