about

 

An experimental pop collective fronted by Andrew Grossman, The North Country has earned a reputation for vibrant music and colorful, raucous shows. With complex arrangements, danceable rhythms, and layered harmonies, the band spins catchy indie pop earworms. The dramatic vocal accompaniments from singers Margot MacDonald and Laurel Halsey, whose voices mimic everything from ethereal priestesses to aloof robots, draw cheers from delighted crowds. The North Country’s music deals with navigating digital fatigue, heartbreak, and blistering political commentary aimed squarely at the 1%. These indie pop futurists will make you think while you dance. Listen to their latest single ‘The Invisible Hand’ on all streaming platforms.

 

PRESS QUOTES

THE NORTH COUNTRY CONTINUE TO MAKE MUSIC THAT MATTERS - WASHINGTON CITY PAPER

FOR THE INVISIBLE HAND SINGLE

“…BRIMMING WITH ELECTRO-POP ENERGY WITH A TOUCH OF GLAM…” - GLIDE MAGAZINE

“…A RAMBUNCTIOUS TRACK THAT’S OVERFLOWING WITH IDIOSYNCRATIC PERCUSSION, GROOVY SYNTH HUMS, AND CYNICAL LYRICS SERVED WITH A SMILE.” - LEFT OF THE DIAL

“…BRILLIANTLY BLENDS AN INFLUENCE OF DAVID BOWIE, THE TALKING HEADS, THE B52S, AND PRINCE.” - THE WILD IS CALLING

For Born At The Right Time (Exquisite Corpse) EP

“Lined with trippy electronics and occasionally accented by straight-forward indie rock guitar riffs…“Born at the Right Time (Exquisite Corpse)” might just be the NoCo album that subverts the narrative on remote music production.” - District Fray

For Procrastinator single

“Using unique sounds spanning decades and genres, establishing their own eccentricity into their music, and using out of the box methods to create a true lockdown record, The North Country has proven themselves to be a truly special band in the alternative and experimental music space.” - Music Mecca

For Born At The Right Time single

“Wonderfully rhythmic and slow-burning, the song finds its strengths in the sonic details, from quiet breathing to crisp percussive textures.” - Dusty Organ

For Inside Outside single “There’s a moment on the new The North Country single “Inside Outside,” when you hear the sounds of east coast’s Grizzly Bear and west coast’s Local Natives converge into an atmospheric soundscape sandwich of sorts.” - Glide Magazine

“Best Original DC Band” - Washington City Paper Best of 2021 Reader’s Poll


For America and Afterwards

“Filtering one’s existential fatigue through such bright influences (Chaka Khan, Joe Jackson, Steely Dan) is complicated work, but in the end, “America and Afterwards” sounds exceedingly confident, highly organized and maybe even a little hopeful. - The Washington Post

“We think America And Afterwards is one of the years’ best efforts” - Pancakes and Whiskey
