Dhani Harrison and Nigel Godrich Announce Duo Dragonflies

The producer-led project was built from tape-loop sessions in Godrich’s Brixton studio, previewed by the single “Slower.”

Overview

  • The duo publicly launched Dragonflies on Wednesday with the lead single “Slower” and a hand-drawn video by Bristol animator RUFFMERCY.
  • Their self-titled debut album is scheduled for release on September 18 via Dark Horse Records/BMG and the issued tracklist opens with “Slower.”
  • Harrison provides vocals and guitar while Godrich handles production, and the record features percussion from Joey Waronker plus string arrangements by David Campbell.
  • The pair say the work grew from conversations during the COVID shutdown and from spontaneous tape-loop sessions at Godrich’s Brixton studio that shaped the songs in real time.
  • The record blends organic instruments and electronic textures into what the duo calls “earthbound space rock,” a move that highlights Godrich’s production pedigree and Harrison’s songwriting and may shape the project’s promotional rollout this fall.
