Harvestman is the brainchild of Neurosis vocalist and guitarist Steve Von Till, and the first album, Lashing the Rye, was created largely by Von Till over several years during lulls in his productive schedule of writing and performing with Neurosis, Tribes of Neurot and his own solo endeavors. While he played and recorded much of the album, select guest collaborators contribute vocals and cello (Surround Me) and bagpipes (Green Hills of Tyrol / The Battle’s O’er) amongst other flourishes to various tracks.
