Harrison Fjord is a psychedelic rock band from Arizona.
Since meeting in school while studying jazz and singing barbershop, the band has gone on to achieve viral success online, open for Bernie Sanders at Pepsi Amphitheater, and most recently travel to Sofia, Bulgaria to collaborate on an album with Grammy-winning legends.
Band members Mario Yniguez, Taylor Morriss, Dal Gonzales, Matt Storto, Jon Sheldon, and Kevin Mandzuk met in High School, and bonded over their love of vocal music. One of the reasons Harrison Fjord are a modern rarity is that not only do all 6 band members write individually, but they all sing, too. In fact, their voices might be the one consistent arc in an otherwise intentionally cosmopolitan genre-defying sound.
The debut EP “Puspa in Space” spawned two viral hits, “How You Been?” and “Approximately 906 Miles” (the latter of which scorched the front pages of Reddit with a psychedelic performance live on the edge of the Mogollon Rim) impressing an international audience with a retro and authentic sound during a time when indie rock music was at its most polished. Where else could you start track one with a barbershop acapella, fly over the 1980s, and end up in a Pink Floyd-esque rock jam?
Upon meeting Producer/Mixer Joshua Diaz at Highland Recording, the band did flip the switch into the world of hi-fi rock in 2018 with their first album “Polychrome” The product of years of writing and refinement delivered on its high expectations, and delivered gems like the radio-ready “Game” and the emotionally cathartic adventure of “Mr. Feeling” all while consistently showcasing the endless supply of brilliant songwriting and vocal prowess in the group.
In 2019, the band teamed up with Los Angeles-based Producer/Writer Charles Wanless, traveling and recording across the world, from Hollywood, CA to Sofia, Bulgaria, letting the variety of their creativity match the near-infinite places they’ve seen. While the 2020 quarantines put a damper on the timeline of the next album, it also marks the dawn of a new era.
