Polar Opposite

Remind Me Where The Light Is - Great Northern

Indie Rock band Great Northern released their second studio album last year and in my opinion it tops their previous work by far. While "Trading Twilight For Daylight" was a fantastic album, they have managed to improve on their always dreamy sound on their latest release. The general tone of every track is the underlying story of love lost and love remembered; the dual vocals of Solon and Rachel also add to the relationship themes. That being said, this is not the sappy kind of love wrapped in a melancholic melody, most of the lyrics are deeply enigmatic and take some deciphering to get the message. All in all, this is a truly satisfying listening experience full of ambient mystifying sounds and soothing vocals mixed with a dash of energy.
