Harlan

Harlan is an indie folk singer-songwriter carving out a cozy niche in the Pacific Northwest music scene. Based in Portland, Oregon, he’s been quietly building a reputation since around 2019 for his warm, introspective tracks that blend stripped-back acoustic vibes with subtle electronic textures. His recent releases, like *Forgotten Faces* and *Bee Pollen*, lean into themes of personal growth, mental health, and humanity’s relationship with nature—all delivered through his signature mix of hushed vocals and moody, layered instrumentation.

Known for his DIY ethos, Harlan often self-records and produces his work, giving it an intimate, lived-in feel that resonates with fans of artists like Sufjan Stevens or Phoebe Bridgers. While he keeps a relatively low profile offline, his collaboration with Pacific Northwest visual artists for album art and music videos hints at a deep connection to his creative community. Tracks like *Nouveau jour* showcase his knack for merging poetic lyricism with slow-burning arrangements, making him a quietly compelling voice in modern folk.
