Subversive by Human Growth Harmony
Human Growth Harmony was recorded at Subversive Studios over the weekend of January 11-13 in 2019.
For this recording session, the band was well-rehearsed after playing a handful of festivals and shows local to Copenhagen over Summer/Fall 2018. With limited time, the live tracking was cut in one long session on Saturday after becoming acclimated to the studio sound the previous afternoon. Upon finishing late Sunday night, the first snow had started to fall onto Copenhagen and a time capsule of the band after 2 years of developing their sound had been produced. Additional overdubs were done subsequently to enhance the mood of the record.
Peter and David Slusarski are brothers from Maspeth, Queens. Currently, they create music in various shapes and sizes around Copenhagen. Their collaborators and featured musicians on this record Tina, Mathias, Morten & Aitor are all respective musicians and it wouldn't have been possible to make this record without their dedication.

Special Thanks: Without their help this album wouldn't be possible... Andrzej Slusarski, Dennis Tuomi, Jani aka Charly & Peti. Our loving friends and family from around the world. The fans who support the band!
"'Subversive' is a mix of alternative rock, psychedelia, and with heavy hints of improvisational and even jazz and chamber music forms too... rich in musical styles and textures, and we're delighted to introduce you to a project who don't really want to conform to any stereotypes, and just want to write and perform with and write music with whoever they want, and without any limitations from being too genre specific."
