Harlequin Jones conjure piano based eerie rock, dark cabaret, baroque pop, and blues songs led by versatile female vocals of Amanda Anatole.
TRUST YOURSELF is the brand new album and lead single from Harlequin Jones with songs that conquer the grief of dead dreams and chronic illness through pounding piano, drums, large layered vocals, and the occasional mellotrons or vibraphone.
One reviewer exclaimed: "I'm happy to report that Harlequin Jones has never sounded better! Production is probably the band's best yet. There's classic stuff like 'Neon', but they're also dipping into some interesting new vibes with 'Do You Really Think?' and I have no problems saying this is some of their best work!”
