Biography

The Wisdom of Harry came together at the height of new-revival punk rock (Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Mudhoney) in the early '90s, but didn't achieve the major hype like their post-punk counterparts. Composed of the aesthetics similar to My Bloody Valentine, Mogwai, and Catherine Wheel, the Wisdom of Harry were associated with the ethereal elements of the Wurlitzer Jukebox label and Weather Prophets singer/songwriter Pete Astor is the face behind the project. After making a name for itself with the likes of Andrew Weatherall and Cornelius, the Wisdom of Harry signed to Matador in the latter '90s. Stars of Super 8, which was a collection of Wisdom of Harry's earlier material, was released in 1999. House of Binary was issued a year later.
