DOWNLOAD HARBOUR for £1: www.Olfar.co.uk

Self-recorded in a remote barn in the Lake District, snow piled against the door and fires crackling within, 'Harbour' is full of wrecked ships, sea creatures, war horses and lost souls. From title-track 'Harbour Hymn's soaring strings to the broken introversy of 'Haul Me In The River', the songs take a path through strange lands, stormy seas, tormented souls and broken hearts.


"‘Harbour is an album that it is impossible not to like. It only takes one listen to fall in love with it. This is an album that you will keep going back to and will be just as enjoyable on the 100th listen as it was on the 1st” 8/10 A Musical Priority

"Olfar's a bit of an enigma. It’s a brilliant song - pop with intentional trip ups on the drums and a killer hook of a chorus. There’s a folky tint to it, a pastoral anthemic quality that reminds me a bit of The Waterboys. It’s the kind of tune you’d get most out of listening to on a cliff buffeted by gales and spray from stormy seas." Artrocker

" Olfar & The Feral Pets break out the strings for a pleasant, sedate respite from the rush. Echoes of Ryan Adams and his countrified twinge resonate through their homespun rock. We like." The Fly

"....a song that performs a perfect balancing act between quirky indie, and instantly likeable, chewy-centred pop. The lurching guitars and marching drumbeats lay down kooky indie-rock foundations, while Olfar's lilting, poppy vocals provide a sweet contrast to all that angular indie. The chorus in particular, has some serious sing along potential." LeedsMusicScene

"...the simply massive effort from Olfar (which is only a demo!). 'Husk' manages to stomp and soar, complete with infectious chorus and majestic piano" Rockmidgets
