Post-rock has, let’s face it, become a domain in which it’s increasingly hard to impress, overhwelmingly the weary preserve of dawdling chin-strokers and undersexed geography students. North, from wherever they’re from, certainly aren’t reinventing the wheel any with “Siberia” but are, unlike many more polite members of their chosen genre’s fraternity, most certainly not afraid to whap out their junk from time to time and bring on the CRUNCH, delivering some satisfyingly meaty riffs alongside all those la-de-da textures and twinkles. From the immaculate sleeve it all comes housed in to the artful tunes within there’s a refreshing lacking of fannying about that helps to make proceedings eminently more enjoyable than much of the navel-gazing slop so many of their heavyweight peers have churned out in recent times. Good-o!
