Paste Magazine said "'Can't Go On Like This' calls to mind the folk-pop giants of yesteryear, but vocalist and guitarist Devin Tuel's flowy, spiritual voice is timeless, and its fluttering beauty will spark a lump in your throat. Wrapped around a general sense of self-doubt are discernible tones of gentle warmth and humble charm, and its healing qualities shouldn't be underestimated."

"'Can't Go On Like This' came about after the people in my life and strangers I chatted with while on the road last year all seemed to say, 'Your life is amazing. It must be nice to be on a perpetual road trip playing music. I wish I could do something like that,'" says vocalist and guitarist Devin Tuel. "They were unhappy in their jobs or their relationships... I found myself thinking we all have moments where we are like 'I have to keep going but I really don't know if I can.'"

Happier Now is a set of nine songs recorded and mixed by Alex Hall (JD McPherson, The Cactus Blossoms, Pokey LaFarge) at Chicago's Reliable Recorders. The album was co-produced by Hall, Tuel, and her bandmate, multi-instrumentalist Stephen Harms.

The songs were written during three back-to-back tours across North America supporting the band's second album, Sorores. They were recorded in just three days in March 2018, each song live on the floor with no click tracks, scratch tracks, or even headphones. Just three musicians in a small room, captured with Hall's collection of vintage mics along with a few overdubs of vocal harmonies, B3 organ, Rhodes piano, and lead guitar to decorate the sessions.

In performance, the members of Native Harrow (vocalist/guitarist Deven Tuel and multi-instrumentalist Stephen Harms) draw on a collection of open-tuned acoustic guitars, a few archaic archtops, and a 2-piece 1940s drumkit to move deliberately and inquisitively through the sonic worlds inhabited by their material.

The band are continuing their touring streak with a new set of dates opening for Canadian folk-rockers Great Lake Swimmers this February. See full list of tour dates below.
