Ten Year Harvest appears like a musical hug rubbed in warm, soiled hands. Their latest single, "Love is Comin Your Way," is a bluesy classic rocker that hammers home hope with every riff and rhythm line. The trio, consisting of Jone Lutro (vocals/guitar), Jan Egil Tjønn (bass/backing vocals), and Magnar Hansen (drums/percussion), hail from the rugged, coastal beauty of western Norway, and have been making music together since 2021. The mix of classic rock, indie propulsion, and down-and-dirty blues is in their DNA. But this song beats with a soul of its own.
"Love is Comin Your Way" sounds like a road trip through sun-bleached Americana, but one with a Northern accent. Jone Lutro's weathered vocals are balanced by their sincerity above a rhythm section that locks in, like a slow heartbeat, live. There's something cool and understated in Tjønn's bass lines, and Hansen's drumming keeps the whole thing moving forward with just a hint of edge. There's a sense of craftsmanship here, and that isn't by accident. The band writes, records, mixes, and produces all their own material. You can feel that manic excitement washing over every one of the song's minutes. There's a satisfying clarity in the production, but what really catches the ear is the emotional heft below the simplicity.
The song is conceived along a fine line between restraint and release, never too overproduced, never too pushed. It's the sort of song that gets inside your marrow and stays there awhile, slowly sizzling. The title feels like a pledge of assurance, and the music backs it up. This is the sort of record that makes us adore rock' n' roll in the first place. Not trends or digital buffing and sanding, but three musicians coming together to make something authentic, melodic, and meaningful. On "Love Is Comin Your Way," Ten Year Harvest shows they aren't just following a sound but building a legacy. For fans of honest music, groove-laden rock, and that unassailable indie charm, Ten Year Harvest has your new favorite anthem served.
