About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Five years after their flirtation with major labels came and went with the release of 2000's King James Version, Seattle punk-popsters Harvey Danger return to active duty with a few new musical wrinkles but all their smarts (and hooks) intact on their fourth album, Little by Little.... While Harvey Danger still display a healthy amount of energy on these ten tunes, their emphasis has shifted a bit as the arrangements lean less on guitars and more on keyboards, with less punk and more classic pop structures in the formula. The piano-dominated melodies of "Little Round Mirrors" and "Moral Centralia" are clean and satisfying with just the right amount of bite around the edges, and "Happiness Writes White" sounds like the work of a post-millennial version of the Merry-Go-Round, while Sean Nelson's firm but flexible tenor is well suited to the new material. Producers Steve Fisk and John Goodmanson have just the right handle on this music, giving the tunes just the right amount of gloss without letting this stuff get too slick, and the band responded well to their treatment. And thankfully, the guys haven't forgotten how to rock out, either, with "Cream and Bastards Rise" strutting its stuff with just the right amount of bile, and the acoustic but nervy "Cool James" takes on its targets with a liberating anger and passion. Left to their own devices, Harvey Danger have made a smart and compelling pop album that proves they have plenty of life (and talent) left in 'em; this is as good an album as the bandmembers have ever made, and that "new musical direction" has thankfully taken them someplace worth visiting.

Another solid CD from one of the most under-rated bands around.by Dietrich89

July 09, 2009: Harvey Danger has some of the most ear-catching, clever lyrics around. Add that to their increasingly polished and original indie-rock sound and you've got a great CD.

'Little By Little...' is a great new sound for the band. The album brings together the attitude of 'Merrymakers' and smart, melodic sound of 'King James' to create songs that are thoughtful and fun all in one. Songs like 'Wine, Women, and Song' will get your foot tapping with a fresh and cleaner sound from H.D., while 'Cream and Bastards Rise' gets your blood pumping with a more grungy sound reminiscent of their first album. 'Happiness Writes White' might be the high-point of the album as an upbeat love song ingeniously written about not being able to write a love song.

As in their previous CDs, Harvey Danger has a great range of sounds and songs on 'Little By Little' that give the listener everything from fast, uptempo rock to slower, melodic songs. The band might always be primarily driven by Sean Nelson's defining vocals but this is Harvey Danger's best effort at creating a more crafted, harmonious and memorable sound.

Not that their other CD's aren't packed with great music and depressingly under appreciated...
