Today, Pennsylvania folk-rock duo Native Harrow share their homespun, George Harrison-inspired video for “If I Could.” Over the track’s contemplative plea for mindful consumption and environmental action, the band appear in a 4-panel clip self-directed in quarantine by singer/songwriter Devin Tuel and her partner Stephen Harms. It’s an absolute beauty!
Says Devin Tuel about “If I Could”:
“”If I Could” is a song that hangs on my own personal desire to shake people into realizing we only have one earth, one chance to keep it healthy and green and cool. And we’re blowing it.
“If I Could” is my plea to look around. Listen better, care more, respect what you can’t understand, plant a tree, recycle… the list of simple actions we as a whole have left behind as humans. It’s time to change or it will be too late. We have to get off of the hamster wheel we are trapped on and try harder to live truer more active lives.”
It shimmers and glows with a warmth and emotional intimacy that’s impossible to resist.

“If I Could” comes from the band’s new album Closeness, out September 4 on Loose. Recorded at Reliable Recorders in Chicago, and engineered by Alex Hall (Neko Case, JD McPherson), Closeness is a melodically robust and emotionally forthright collection that has already been deemed “exquisite” by Uncut, which tells readers to “expect forays into desert funk, warm ‘70s groove, jazz and piano balladry.”
