Listen "Chatting with The Far North"
Episode Synopsis
In this podcast, we chat with Lee Wylding about his latest creation with Andie Packer called The Far North...
Following on from the success of their debut single This House Is Ours and second single ‘Runaway’ from their debut album ‘Songs For Gentle Souls’, the UK-based Americana duo The Far North will release their third single 'Branches' out on March 26th, 2021.
Formed in 2019 and evolving from the ashes of The Fireflys, whose grungey Americana won them many friends in the UK, solidified by a run of acclaimed albums. Following the band’s dissolution, and having spent some time in Canada and been influenced by acts such as City And Colour, Lee was keen to head in a more pared-down, acoustic direction, and began working with noted UK producer Nigel Stonier (famed for his work with such luminaries as Joan Baez, Lindisfarne, Robert Plant and Martha Wainwright). the result was Songs For Gentle Souls which has been going down a storm both sides of the Atlantic.
For all lovers of Americana, folk, and alternative country coming out of the UK in 2021, The Far North are leading the way.
