They might not be feeling the heat wave up in Golden Horseshoe, Ontario, but I'm stilling thanking them for their song of winter. "Winterize" can be found on their Bitter Hands Resign album. A Northern Chorus is on the Sonic Unyon Records label and they have been playing together since early 2000 though their debut record, before we all go to pieces, didn't actually release in the US until March of 2006.

They are underrated to say the least, but it might be due to lack of promotion in the States, I'm not sure. Because they have incredible harmonies that beyond being great sounding, they're just plain respectable. I mean this shows how music is an art form.

They just finished a minor tour in the US in conjunction with their latest album release, The Millions Too Many. Their label says this album is "undoubtedly the best A Northern Chorus album to date." So why no hype? Again, I don't know. But I don't want this to fall by the wayside.

Listen and love the strings:
A Northern Chorus - "Skeleton Keys" (mp3)

Buy the albums!
