PREMIERE: Wolfgang Harte Releases New Single “Every Single Red Light”

Founding member and ex-Swim Deep, Wolfgang Harte’s decision to return to writing and performing music came in the wake of losing his Mum in 2017.  His songwriting provided a channel for his grief and helped him tackle the issues of life, death and family that exploded all around him during that period.

Harte’s music is born of dark, personal lyrics and driving, euphoric soundscapes which capture the emotional atmosphere in which the songs were written.

Brand new single (and today’s premiere), “Every Single Red Light”, is basically an anthem surrounding grief. About desperately trying to hold on to some one and all the conflicting feelings, the regret, the memories, the pain and the bargaining that you suffer when you lose someone you love. It’s a song about looking back but also about keeping that person with you as you move forward.

His first live shows came in summer 2018, supporting Peace on their third album tour of the UK.  With the help of a backing band, a combination of good friends from other groups, Harte debuted these songs with passionate, energetic performances, the biggest show being at London’s 02 Forum.

Following the tour, Harte continued his song-writing journey and began playing solo shows toward the end of the year. Kicking off 2019, he retreated to the isolation of a farm in Hereford to record a fresh set of demos and returned to the stage for a solo show at The Garage, Islington on the 1st of March.  Harte continues to write and record, so expect much more to come this year!​

Harte’s next live show will be at the Water Rats in London’s King’s Cross on Friday, April 19th with more to follow.
