[mp3] Great Northern


The chemistry between boy/girl duo bands always fascinate me. I always wonder if there are ever any romantic feelings between the two pulsing heart beats. Music is such a strong thing to share and [especially] make. I would think that to be on such a level like that with some one must be euphoric and intense, to say the least.

Great Northern are one of those boy/girl bands [see also: Matt & Kim, Beach House] whose compelling, rich music calls for a deeper look at what forces are behind it. Great Northern hail from Los Angeles and are Solon Bixler [of 30 Seconds To Mars] and his good friend, Rachel Stolte. Next month [April 28th], they will be releasing their Sophomore album entitled Remind Me Where The Light Is.  I received an advanced copy of the album and I can honestly say that this is worth a listen or two or three or four - best experienced with a pair of good headphones.
