Mick Harvey & Christopher Richard Barker Further Down The LineWatch at the source

Mick Harvey & Christopher Richard Barker have released the opening track from their collaboration, The Fall and Rise of Edgar Bourchier and the Horrors of War, out on Mute on vinyl, CD and download on 9 November 2018.

Adapted from the poem ‘The Haunted Yellow Hours’, ‘Further Down The Line’ describes how a soldier attempts to comfort his dead colleagues, describing how they stare through his “weeping eyes, further down the line…” The song is the very first one that Mick Harvey constructed music for at the outset of his collaboration with the author Christopher Richard Barker.
