Music by The Harrow Lyrics by Vanessa Irena Mixed by James Aparicio Mastered by Tim Turan Originally released as a split 7'' with La Fete Triste on aufnahme + wiedergabe "'Axis' is high on concept and minimal on mix, with everything carefully designated to a sharpened, direct point of delivery. Every one of Barrett's synths, Greg's chords, Frank's choice drum algorithms, and Vanessa's blizzard-burying expressions strike in time and turn. The "cold as ice" journal poetry of incompatible attractions lead to the snow-blanketed gardens of forests and the all-encompassing mouth entrance toward the icy sea. Communicated needs and unconditional acts of love work to break the spells from the blinding billows of snow to the broken pebbles that line the shore." – Impose Magazine "French coldwave aesthetics sit nicely alongside early 4AD influences and heavy dreampop worship, and you can easily pick out traces of Hooky, Simon Gallup, and Simon Raymonde in Frank’s bass playing. As these influences and the band’s Kafka-inspired name may suggest, The Harrow explores both the bleak and the romantic sides of the post-punk spectrum, often combining nightmarishly sentimental lyrics with ice cold synths and lush guitar textures." – Alex Baker, Post-punk.com
