I know a good portion of you readers may already know about Great Northern yet I thought I would throw my two cents in. They are beautifully awesome. It’s orchestral indie pop as I’ve heard it dubbed. The Los Angeles half male half female indie rock group has been making huge waves as of late. Selling out their record release show over at The Echo with a line around the block is a pretty big deal. That kind of thing happens when every single song on the album is as good as the last. Every time I go to listen to just a song, I’ll listen to the whole album because it’s just that good. Some of the beautiful lyrics remind me a bit of the amazing Imogen Heap and instrumentals/arrangements like The Arcade Fire. Don’t get me wrong here though… they are their own band all together. I’m just trying to piece together my thoughts of what they sound like. The only real way is to listen for yourself. Buying the album is MORE than worth it. Eenie Meenie has done an excellent job with the Great Northern. They are currently on tour through June, catch them before they start selling out tickets all the time.
