Artist spotlight: Northbound Static keep it short and sharp

Six songs, eighteen minutes, zero wasted seconds.

You may not know the name yet. Give it six months.

The artist started out posting one-minute song sketches online, recorded on a phone in a bedroom with the door closed so the neighbours would not hear.

Where to start

The debut EP keeps that intimacy but adds a real band, a string section on two tracks and a producer who knows when to leave things alone.

We wanted it to sound like the room we made it in, not like a studio pretending to be a room.

From our interview (fictional demo quote)

Live, the songs grow teeth. The small rooms on the current tour are selling out, and bigger venues are already being booked.

Start with the second track. You will be back for the rest.
