Background and release
In an interview with Crack, Oklou stated that "Harvest Sky" was partly inspired by Saint John's Eve#France, a festival in which bonfires are lit to celebrate the Nativity of John the Baptist. According to her, "I'm very attached to these memories because it was very joyful at the time, but there's also the capacity for these moments to be weird as fuck. There's adults not being super careful or very sober – there are some dark moments as well." In the same interview, Oklou stated that one of her favorite things "is hearing the sounds of people partying from afar", a habit she picked up as a child and felt was a "different connection" compared to actual partying."Harvest Sky" was released on 16 October 2024, as a double A-side single with album track "Obvious". In a statement accompanying the release, Oklou stated that "Harvest Sky" was "probably my third attempt to talk about one thing that happens at times during festivities; zoom out from the crowd and enter a lonely mental space." A visualizer for the track was released on the same day.
