David Harrison is a Liverpool based artist, and one of the many new breed of singer/songwriters who have rejected the mainstream in favour of releasing their work on small independent labels.

Harrison's first album 'hum' (named after the 'hum' created by the big bang-still detectable by background noise on TV or Radio) is a collection of 13 carefully crafted songs, recorded at the Cutting Rooms in Manchester during 2004-2005.

After gaining a publishing deal with Bald Music (a subsidiary of the Liverpool based Probe Plus label run by Liverpool Indie Guru Geoff Davies) the album was released in July, 2005. The songs are a blend of acoustic styles such as 'luminous circles' and more 'rockier' numbers like 'she loves the sun', using Harrison's sky high harmonies and catchy guitar riffs. Comparisons with Nick Drake and Roy Harper have been made in several reviews of the album.

Songs such as 'Lost in the Ocean', 'Maganda Khar' and 'Get out of my Hair' capture Harrison's melodic vocal style, the later balancing the vocals with a drifting flute part playing in the background, reminding the listener that the 'hum' of the universe can be captured on tape!

The album was subsequently re-mastered and re-packaged with additional tracks for re-release in early 2007 with critical aclaim. After vanishing from the music scene for over a year, Harrison is back with a new EP entitled 'Creative Garden' which is due for release late 2008.
