"Built myself back up": Harper Finn on his move to New York, the writing of Silo Park

An update from another of New Zealand’s talented musicians – Harper Finn. 

Finn is finally releasing his debut album, ‘Silo Park’ coming out at the end of next month. 

The album is a journey through change, isolation, and discovery, set against the dual backdrops of his homes in New Zealand and New York, recorded in the Woodstock region upstate.  

He moved to the US in 2022, which was sparked by a desire for a change of scenery, Finn saying he felt like he was plateauing in the years since being named Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2021. 

“I needed to have another experience, a sort of substantial experience to write about.”  

“Three months there is a year’s worth of activity,” he told Hosking. 

“So those three years I’ve spent there, I felt like I’ve been there for close to a decade.”
