North of Tomorrow is a collaborative dream project that brings to you different musical elements all brought together in one package. I was looking for the appropriate words to define the North of Tomorrow and came across this line on their official website –
Take Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Pink Floyd and Talking Heads, mix and add Frank Zappa, Radiohead; King Crimson, The Who and Todd Rundgren, then include Weather Report, David Sylvian, Led Zepplin, The Black Crowes and Miles Davis, and you have some of the basic ingredients for North of Tomorrow.
There is no particular genre that can categorize the album. All the seven musical videos inside the album comprise an amalgamation of multiple genres. Here is a short interpretation written for each of the musical albums that you might like to read in order to understand more about this mixture of musical genres.
About the music of “North of Tomorrow”
#1. Nobody Loves You: The theme of the music has been described in the time domain. Irrespective of whether it is past, present or something in the future. The album is meant to cross all boundaries. The opening of the music is very attractive to listen to and continues in a mid-fast paced tone.
#2. Torch: The opening begins in a mysterious tone and slowly paces into the music with the steady strumming of the guitar. The music does not have any vocal contribution. It is not loud nor extremely soft. An ideal one for anyone wanting to shut the lyrics one and enjoy the peace of the music. The song in its long ago original version got over 500,000 listens on SoundCloud.
#3. One Time: The moment you start listening to the song, you will start feeling the vibe of the song. It is true that the feel is different. The voice going offbeat is surprising something that appears pleasing to the ears when orchestrated with the other music elements in the music. In other words, it is peaceful.
#4. Bounce 1 and 2: The music here is energetic and loaded with determination. But this is not a kind of music that prolongs time before finally bouncing on to rock music. The lyrical composition is inspiring and so is the video production.
#5. Easy: It is surprising how various musical sounds can be amalgamation of different experiments. This too is one that does not come with the lyrical addition and maybe that is open to imagination. However, despite the different amalgamation attempts, the twisty guitar strums are something that should be worth listening to.
#6. I Saw A Ghost: This is not an instrumental track. The artist in this song has a strong narration technique that takes you through the musical story. The chorus part and the metallic experimentation in the music are something worth taking notice while listening. Do not miss out the surprising burst of guitar riff in the guitar.
All the seven songs are already out online and has been published in major platforms namely YouTube and Spotify. Here is a link to the video page from where you can listen to the work of collaboration.
