“Harvey” is the third single released from Her’s second album, Invitation to Her’s. The song is a reference to the 1950 film of the same name, which tells the story of a man whose best friend is a six-foot, three-and-a-half-inch-tall invisible rabbit named Harvey. However, according to duo Audun Laading and Stephen Fitzpatrick, “Harvey” also:

Makes for a good story about friendship…I think it reflects a bit on our friendship sometimes.

Deaths

On 27 March 2019, around 1 a.m., Fitzpatrick and Laading (both aged 25) along with their tour manager, Trevor Engelbrektson (37) from Minneapolis, were killed in a head-on traffic collision and subsequent vehicle fire near Milepost 68 on Interstate 10, west of Tonopah, Arizona.[22][23][24][25] They were travelling from Phoenix, Arizona, where they had played at The Rebel Lounge[26] on 26 March, to perform a show on the following evening in Santa Ana, California, some 350 miles (560 km) away, as part of a 19-date second tour of North America.[8][24] The Arizona Department of Public Safety confirmed that Engelbrektson had been driving the band's Ford tour van at the time of the crash.[24][27] The driver of a Nissan pick-up truck, Francisco Rebollar, aged 64, from Murrieta, California, was also killed in the collision; a subsequent police investigation of the scene located a bottle of alcohol in the wreckage.[28][24] At the time of the crash, the Arizona Department of Public Safety was already responding to reports of the Nissan pick-up truck travelling at speed in the wrong direction going eastbound on the westbound carriageway.[25][29]

A requiem mass for Fitzpatrick was held at St. Mary's (Roman Catholic) Church, Barrow-in-Furness, on 23 April 2019, followed by a burial at Barrow-in-Furness cemetery.[30]

Yeah, it's rough. I didn't heard about Her's under after the incident, when after hearing this song I went searching to find what else they had made and had down the pipeline.... Wasn't expecting to my search to reveal what it did.
