| Album? Yes... but it'll be a second or twoMy friends... you all are wonderful people, and if you're a fan of the band you've probably been hearing us tell you for the last six months or so that a new album is in the works, due by what would now be about a month and a half.
After much deliberation, The Northern has decided to break up
JK
BUT!!!! We are delaying the release of our album to a future date that we very intentionally do not have a release date for. We believe we have the potential to bake some really good cookies. We have all the necessary ingredients, but why throw them all together when you don't know the right measurements of the individual ingredients? We've got Brown Sugar (Jon), Butter (Jason), Dough (Jim, though the last time I called him my "little dough boy" I received a black eye that didn't go away for months), and Chocolate chips (which I guess would be me).
The biggest issue is that for a variety of reasons, many of which involve subconscious sibling rivalry issues, we've tended toward too many chocolate chips. It's like, "Welcome to the chocolate chip show! Have a little cookie!"
Another problem we've had is being more focused on a career goal than an artistic one. saying things like, "Album due May 1. It's going to be awesome!" before the album is even half-finished.
So what we've decided to do is to wait. "Chew the cud" so to speak. I'm releasing my grasp on "my" concepts for the sake of this album becoming OUR art. The result will be more Jon, more Jim, more Jason. More J's in jeneral. The Northern has been a group product from the get-go. Let no-one be deceived... but I've been hogging the driver's seat and apparently I'm not the only one on this road-trip who likes to drive.
There's an album coming your way, but hopefully and more importantly there's better art and a better band coming your way.
In the meantime, come to a show. You will no doubt witness some spectacular growing pains.

| This is really niceHave you ever heard of Kate Walsh? I have. I don't now how it happened, but I'm sitting for joy about it. She makes some really nice music. I feel really good right now. | | |
| "Nietzsche" is much too hard to spell, so i copy and paste from WikipediaGod is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?
—Nietzsche, The Gay Science, Section 125, tr. Walter Kaufmann
This is so incredibly compelling. His last question is certainly a retorical one, the answer to which is yes. Think about it. Nietzsche, you speak truths you know nothng of.
Must we not ourselves become gods simply to appear deserving enough to kill the God who created us? | | |
