Joseph Arthur, Ben Harper, and Dhani Harrison have joined together to form a new band called Fistful of Mercy. The band's debut album, As I Call You Down, is out October 5th on Harrison's Hot Records. Check out the first single and self-titled track below.
MP3: Fistful of Mercy - "Fistful of Mercy"
A lush acoustic track, powered by the three distinguishable voices of Arthur, Harper, and Harrison. It's the sound of sunlight battling clouds; it's a battle of the spirit to rise above. There's an air of melancholy that's counterbalanced by the layers of acoustic guitar, making it all the more beautiful. It sounds like within itself, hope conquers all.
After the jump, check out a music video for "Fistful of Mercy" featuring footage of the band recording in the studio as well as a live performance of another track for KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic."
