Nick J Harvey’s "Careful With The Bacon, Steven": A Cinematic Slice of Life in Sonic Form

Melbourne singer-songwriter Nick J Harvey is back again with a new single release, "Careful With The Bacon, Steven." It is a sprawling cinematic ride straddling the psychedelic rock, classic rock, and blues genres; it is done with the utmost care and artistry. Being familiar with Harvey's noisy blues riffs and gut-evoking vocals, he continues to masterfully capture the raw aspects of life and human experiences, and now that experience is layered with sonic densities demanding to be investigated further.

The single opens with soft textured acoustic guitar riffs that evoke the calm openness of early morning, meditative, and full of potentiality. As the track develops, it builds up to a wildly erupted scene of roaring electric guitars, moving rhythm, and ambient urban tones that accompany the hectic pulse of geared city life. The production detail of "Careful With The Bacon, Steven" conveys a sonic representation of the myriad pushes and pulls of everyday life - the fine line between hysterics and the sameness of routine that gives us some sort of comfort in the Civilized; darkness and light.

Harvey’s lyricism is also great storytelling, moving through the same themes of struggle, resilience, and the absurdity of everyday life and its rituals. The title, whimsical and yet very serious, is indicative of how Harvey has tackled songwriting, finding surreal connections to the ordinary and the somewhat absurdity of everyday life in a space that is relatable yet cerebral. It is a reminder of the things we often overlook that can mean so much, and are all part of passing time as we all move forward.

In "Careful With The Bacon, Steven," Nick J Harvey returns to the contemporary music scene, not only as a musician, but a storyteller whose considerable talents can turn life's minutiae and passages into epics. Nick J Harvey's command of both sound and sentiment has produced a song that is felt as much as it is heard, with Colin's licks and the inevitable reprise reverberating after the last open chord dies.
