Nick Mulvey
De Oosterpoort
Trompsingel 27, 9724 DA GroningenBritish singer-songwriter Nick Mulvey has developed a unique style that blends acoustic folk, subtle electronics, and influences from West African music, among others. His background in ethnomusicology and his time as a member of Portico Quartet have permanently shaped his sound. Yet Mulvey’s strength lies not only in his musical versatility, but precisely in the stillness and concentration that his songs evoke. His guitar playing is refined, his voice warm and clear, and his lyrics offer space for reflection.
With Dark Harvest, Mulvey shows his most personal side. Where the first part arose from loss and disarray, the second part offers hope and peace. The songs feel intimate and worn, as if they were written from a place of surrender. Instead of a grand gesture, he chooses small, precise observations about life, spirituality, and interconnectedness. The album marks a new chapter in his career. This album follows up on previous releases like First Mind and Wake Up Now, which previously earned him a Mercury Prize nomination and a loyal following.
