Virgin
VERVE - A Northern Soul 2LP
$44.95
180 gram double vinyl.
If one were to consider that A Storm In Heaven was their psychedelic opus, and very worthy to be gotten as a re-issue on 180 gram vinyl, then A Northern Soul had a foot both in their psychedelic debut, and one in Urban Hymns, their more rock presentation. Certainly A Northern Soul comes off as a bit more polished and focused, yet in the same breath, it contains very fragile elements, and why shouldn’t it, the songs sound like they barely hang together, as if they and the band could evaporate at any moment. Yet with that in mind, it’s that fragility that is so inviting and explorative.
