A Northern Chorus

Last year I took a handful of business trips across the US, and while I was in New York I decided to visit the Cake Shop, a bar/record store/music venue, to hear this band on a whim. What a night - the opening bands were great, and A Northern Chorus left me stunned. In a room of under 100 people, I sat in front, mesmerized by the cellist, and the band's general ability to rock out one minute and create intimate, hushing atmospheres the next.

Unfortunately, after four albums since 2001, they decided to break up a few months ago. Listen to Skeleton Keys off their last album below.

Here's a tune from an Internet buddy of mine, called Happy Birthday Bolickus, was released on a Boards Of Canada forum many years ago. What better way to celebrate a friend's birthday than with 80s PBS logo themes, marching beats, and Moog bass lines. For more songs by davefrom2001, click here.
