Epictronic proudly presents the latest audiovisual drop from one of instrumental rock’s most compelling new voices: Jon Harris. The Canadian multi-instrumentalist shares the official playthrough video for “Togetherness”, an explosive track lifted from his debut album, “Parallel Heart”, out now via Epictronic.

“Togetherness’stands as a reflection on human connection, born from the isolation of the pandemic. At its heart, the song contemplates a simple yet profound question: Are we okay, as a humanity?”

​

Based in Edmonton, Jon Harris is fast becoming a name to watch in the modern rock landscape. Parallel Heart positions him as more than just a guitarist — he’s a fully-fledged sonic architect. The album merges blues-soaked hard rock, vintage synth-pop, and funk-inflected grooves into a cohesive and forward-thinking sound. Think Jeff Beck channeling Prince with a cinematic twist.

Though entirely instrumental, Parallel Heart speaks volumes. The compositions — from the pulsing urgency of “Togetherness” to the retro sparkle of “97BPM” — form a loose narrative about the tension between connection and chaos, between creative drive and real-world demands. Each track offers its own emotional arc, powered by Harris’s multi-instrumental mastery (he handles guitar, drums, bass, piano, and production duties himself).

“It’s a looping track (Entitled) that turns noodling guitar solos into an optimistic resolve. ” – Exclaim!

“guitar virtuoso Jon Harris offers a welcome throwback on ‘Togetherness’, the second single to be released from his forthcoming LP ‘Parallel Heart’. An instrumental number, its mid tempo and groove oriented base is immediately reminiscent of works by Joe Satriani, but unlike so many fretboard freaks, Harris clearly values a great melody instead of a pure shred. Here, he lays down a semi bluesy tone over a solid rock groove, before branching out to inject a funk derived rhythm with a cleaner tone, and bell like melodies. The arrangement eventually finds room for a few slightly fuzzy sounding harmonics and a melody that could be one of Satch’s best, circa ‘The Extremist’.” – Real Gone Rocks

“It’s Friday! And we have the pleasure of adding the new single “Togetherness” from six-string slinger Jon Harris. An instrumental driving rock track with an accessible melody and plenty of layered soloing to keep you engaged throughout, “Togetherness” is a rewarding five minutes without those pesky vocals! Taken from his forthcoming album “Parallel Heart” set for a December release, catch Jon Harris on your Home for the Best New Rock…W-J-O-EEEE!”

“His artistic ability blends technical brilliance and emotional depth, creating immersive soundscapes that push the boundaries of rock.” – Video Sound Art Magazine

“If melodic and elegant instrumental hard rock is music you tend to enjoy, and you appreciate some occasional funky interceptions in such landscapes, then this is an album that you probably will find to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.” – The Viking in the Wilderness
