Harkling
Harkling is a Northumberland-based artist crafting ethereal pop with edges that dip into darkness and experimental depths ☽⚔︎☾
Coming from her classical background and with a strong practice in free improvisation, Harkling creates music that navigates the immersive, the ritualistic, and the raw—anchored in her classical training yet unrestrained by it.
She draws on both the personal and the collective, on nature and folklore, channelling the unseen forces that pulse beneath the surface of the everyday, weaving hard-hitting pop with delicate textures, using field recordings and DIY sonic manipulations to form a soundscape both haunting and hypnotic.
Her sound is a vessel that sails through fog-shrouded realms, conjuring melodies deep from the belly of the sea goddess, but grounded in the human experiences we share.
FRESH happens every Thursday during our open seasons. It is a platform to bring you fresh new music served up alongside a homecooked plant based meal, board games and candles.
