North of Tomorrow has released their latest album, Clear as Can Be. In twelve tracks we find eclectic influences and a thorough musicality that replenishes and refreshes.
The opening track, “Late Again,” turns it up with its textured, pulsating, and shimmering sound. Despite its cutting, glimmery edges, the smooth flow of the music serves as a compelling backdrop for the husky and hazy vocals, which sing contemplatively against the intriguing instrumentals. This track introduces listeners to the band’s ability to blend different elements into a cohesive and engaging sound seamlessly.
As Clear As Can Be progresses, tracks like “Little Things” showcase a more relaxing vibe with cool strumming guitars. The immersive and dazed ambience of “Who Killed Love?” is enhanced by romantic horns, adding a cinematic serenity to the sonic experience.
The final track, “This and That,” unfolds with pattering drumming that consistently beats down. The dark and subtly nuanced textures create a vivid backdrop amid the dance of guitars. “This and That” gets dynamic with various musical elements amalgamating to enhance the album’s signature aural diversity.
North of Tomorrow transcends the territories of the genre through Clear as Can Be. With eclectic influences from Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, Frank Zappa, Radiohead and Miles Davis, the band illustrates their multifaceted ear to musicality and sound.
Whether you’re a fan of progressive rock, fusion, or experimental sounds, there’s something for everyone in Clear as Can Be by North of Tomorrow.
