Northern Lights – EP

This one’s been working its way out over the past year or so, with a couple of gems featured on RSTB in the past. Now, Gothenberg duo Northern Lights give a proper release to their debut EP. The lived-in lounge of these five songs betray the stacked studio ensemble, gilding a saunter of ‘70s folk and pop with brass, pedal steel, and a bouquet of backing vocals. The band slides into the new wave of Americana that’s bloomed from Australia to California, giving a gloss of Swedish pop acumen onto the genre. Edvin & Anton lead the way with honeysuckle harmonies and a weather-worn veneer that spars with the lush arrangements that wrap around the listener in comforting auburn shades. Weave this into rotation between Sylvie, The Hanging Stars, and Hot Apple Band. The new EP is out now digitally, direct from the band.
