Stay Tuned
An experimental pop collective fronted by Andrew Grossman, The North Country has earned a reputation for pairing contemplative lyrics with vibrant music and colorful, raucous shows. Based in Washington DC, their 2022 release under Misra Records “Born at the Right Time (Exquisite Corpse)” marked a new stage of creativity. Written and recorded entirely remotely during the height of Covid lockdowns, the 6 bandmates applied the surrealist art technique cadaver exquis to collaborative songwriting. Now, The North Country presents the first vibrant single off of forthcoming album ‘The Future’s All We Need’ : listen to ‘The Invisible Hand’ on all streaming platforms.
