The Harbours’ Upbeat Indie Romance
The Harbours are a promising indie band from the UK that’s quickly gaining attention for their infectious, guitar-driven sound. The band, with members Will Masserella-Tyler and Oliver Drakard, has been praised for their ability to create anthemic, summery indie-pop that’s perfect for a sing-along. They’ve been building a steady following with a series of singles that showcase their knack for writing catchy and feel-good tunes.
The song “Scarlet (Boys That Sing)” is a highlight from The Harbours’ growing catalog. It’s a joyful and energetic track about the thrill of a budding romance. The lyrics describe a chance encounter and the powerful, immediate connection that follows, with the narrator expressing his desire to win over a girl who, as the title suggests, “likes boys that sing.” The song is filled with vivid imagery, from “a red night sky in the summer” to a carefree dance, all of which contribute to its romantic and optimistic tone. The track’s upbeat tempo, soaring guitars, and melodic vocals make it a quintessential indie-pop love song that’s both charming and memorable.
