Great Northern – Remind Me Where The Light Is

“If the Cranberries and the Smiths got together and had a love child, it would be Great Northern. With songs featured in TV commercials and popular videogames, the act isn’t new to the scene. “Remind Me Where the Light Is,” the band’s sophomore release, is a poignant, personal record whose only named influences are the light and the darkness. Both Solon Bixler, formerly of 30 Seconds to Mars, and Rachel Stolte let their emotions flow freely while creating the record. On “Houses,” the first single, an electric guitar outlines the darkness communicated in Stolte’s unwavering vocals. Tracks like “Fingers,” “Warning” and “Driveway” feature Bixler’s raspy vocal layered atop catchy drum beats where the melancholy mood turns optimistic by the song’s end. From out of the dark, opening track “Story” through to “33,” its optimistic closer, “Remind Me” stands to be the band’s ticket back into the light.”
