bostonfern73 Beautiful album to settle down with at the end of the evening. Very easy to become immersed in the atmospheric and brooding soundscape. Great stuff! Favorite track: Small Town.

dark, moody stuff, absolutely loving it. a Long Way Down favourite track at the moment

radioactivity700 What a dark, moody and simply magnificent album, looking forward to playing it in the dark with the headphones.

Kieran Maguire Very Twin Peaks like. which can only be a good sign. 🖤

Lone Cosmonaut Rich, emmersive and majestic synths, wrap themselves around you in an atmospheric embrace I didn't want to end. Amazing stuff!

Steve Roden Moody electronica. Echoes of Twin Peaks, which is a good thing!

about

The Northerner was written in the winter of 2021 after a move to a quiet place. The pleasant pastoral ambiences I found myself listening to at the time suddenly felt incongruous to the dark, brooding environment I was in. In answer to this I reflected on times past, working and travelling through the cold, remote regions of ambivalent beauty in British Columbia and the inhospitable resource towns dotting the long lonely highways, with their dark complex stories of humanity contained within. The kind of things you will not find in tourism guides or carefully curated social media posts.

To build upon this ominous world I decided it necessary to use the sparest of sonic palettes possible and let the synths howl into the night. Many thanks to Colin for taking a chance on this weird, dark affair.

Great record. wears it's influences proudly ..but retains a sliver of identity that is uniquely British and has a northern feel to it..I think that these geographic musical vignettes are realy evocotive of northern Newtown Uber estates and satellite communities..I hope this translates to a wider audience for him...he deserves the attention. give him his due .NOW . christopherogley

This is very close to what I heard/felt everytime we visited the grandparents in Runcorn. Ominous dread. Bleak dystopia. Concrete and terraced houses. Plus the air smells! MonkeyMajiks
