“Harvey” is the third single released from Her’s second album, Invitation to Her’s. The song is a reference to the 1950 film of the same name, which tells the story of a man whose best friend is a six-foot, three-and-a-half-inch-tall invisible rabbit named Harvey. However, according to duo Audun Laading and Stephen Fitzpatrick, “Harvey” also:
Makes for a good story about friendship…I think it reflects a bit on our friendship sometimes.

Deaths
On 27 March 2019, around 1 a.m., Fitzpatrick and Laading (both aged 25) along with their tour manager, Trevor Engelbrektson (37) from Minneapolis, were killed in a head-on traffic collision and subsequent vehicle fire near Milepost 68 on Interstate 10, west of Tonopah, Arizona.[22][23][24][25] They were travelling from Phoenix, Arizona, where they had played at The Rebel Lounge[26] on 26 March, to perform a show on the following evening in Santa Ana, California, some 350 miles (560 km) away, as part of a 19-date second tour of North America.[8][24] The Arizona Department of Public Safety confirmed that Engelbrektson had been driving the band’s Ford tour van at the time of the crash.[24][27] The driver of a Nissan pick-up truck, Francisco Rebollar, aged 64, from Murrieta, California, was also killed in the collision; a subsequent police investigation of the scene located a bottle of alcohol in the wreckage.[28][24] At the time of the crash, the Arizona Department of Public Safety was already responding to reports of the Nissan pick-up truck travelling at speed in the wrong direction going eastbound on the westbound carriageway.[25][29]
A requiem mass for Fitzpatrick was held at St. Mary’s (Roman Catholic) Church, Barrow-in-Furness, on 23 April 2019, followed by a burial at Barrow-in-Furness cemetery.[30]
Yeah, it’s rough. I didn’t heard about Her’s under after the incident, when after hearing this song I went searching to find what else they had made and had down the pipeline… Wasn’t expecting to my search to reveal what it did.
Sad times when that happens!
Thanks for sharing and keeping their music going!
