The New Zealand Herald has given our album Halves a glowing review.
The warm welcome that this album has been given by all media in general feels like my best achievement in my career as a musician. I (and the rest of Great North) are really proud of this creation, and it’s just nice that we’re not the only ones who feel like we might have something here that other people might enjoy. Check it out here on nzherald.co.nz or try to read the scan:

Skip the first 20 mins because you don’t care about Sinead O’Connor or any of the Wainrights. Everyone in the band gets a name drop except for me!
So we just released this album.
It’s probably unprofessional to post something so childish on my tumblr. But I really don’t like Coldplay so this is happening.
These are the lengths we go to to bring you good music.

And seriously kids, I have been in Great North for over four years and I’m still really excited about the music. More than ever, actually. May 26th. 11 tracks of New Stuff.
In other news I’ve been rock climbing a bit lately.
While people ask me how touring with Avalanche City in America is going, I have been replying “I didn’t actually get to go” and following up with an exciting piece of news: “But my other band Great North is finishing up our second album “Halves” for a May 26th release!”
And I’m not even lying. It’s about 18 month since our first album Newfoundland. I feel like we’ve learnt a little since then about crafting songs as a band. Our producer Dave has described it as “way more alternative and way more traditional” which is possibly somehow true.
Anyhow, I really love these eleven songs, and I can’t wait for your ears to agree.
Listen to the old to anticipate the new:
There is also a secret project underway. When the time is right, I’ll tell you. That is all for now.
does anyone know how I can buy the Avalanche City albums? I can’t buy them on U.S. itunes ))):
Hey ruesster, half of the album is getting released in the states in just a few weeks, on April 3. Check out my earlier blog for more details:
