Adrian Crowley uses somberness as a paintbrush, drawing a sparse landscape of stillness and evocative beauty. On his past two records, 2002's A Strange Kind and 2003's When You Are Here You Are Family, Crowley kept the meanings of the songs between his voice, guitar, a cello and some drums. Now, with A Northern Country, the compositions take flight past a contained sound, lifting off towards the abstractions of beauty. Never one to turn down a minor key, Crowley nonetheless finds hope within the pessimism. His songs are less dirges than gentle odes of joy - the magic of a moment between two people, the lasting notions of loss mixed with joy, the opportunities offered when you say what you really mean. All this can be found in A Northern Country. Check out the artist's website: http://www.badabingrecords.com Track List: 1. One Hundred Words For Snow 2. Dark Anvil Skies 3. Morning Frost 4.
