IMHO: My Romantic idea of apocalypse is driving around thru vast fields of nothing in the aftermath listening to Great Northern. Obviously, this is just an idea, but behind it is the notion that GN is great driving music, maybe the best ever, along with Markus Schultz's "Travelling Light". I remember driving back from upstate NY listening to them in the fall, observing the leaves and thinking I was on my way to paradise. I am so beyond excited about their new album... Maybe I shouldn't, so it doesn't become a disappointment later, but judging by the first single "Houses", I have every reason to be about to jump off my seat. Pure... love...

FAVORITE SONGS: "Telling Lies", "The Middle", "Low is a height", "Houses"... etc
FAVORITE ALBUMS: "Trading Twilight For Daylight", but I can't wait for the new one.
