Dig yourself somewhere on a distant, rural area and start to write songs for new album: since Justin Vernon did it before releasing his Bon Iver debut, this became a popular strategy. But of course, it's as old as music industry, and those who abuse it, often end up with melancholic CD's added to discography. Still it's very easy to do, especially if you are from Iceland or Canada, where finding hermitages is extremely easy.A Northern Chorus tried this pattern twice: no surprises, they are from Canada. Results were at least promising: 'Bitter Hand Resign' turned in a majestic piece of indie art, possibly something which Arcade Fire might record if they were pursuing direction revealed on 'Funeral'. Anyway, 2005 was either too late or too early for kind of album ANC has presented us. In short, they failed to gain bigger popularity and were disbanded in the middle of 2008. Seems that the fortune cannot be generous for every artist who gives the best effort.
A neat story behind 'Winterize' video could have been recorded by David Lynch himself - if he was in sentimental mood. Someone did a relly good job here; apparently both band and director met in a right place at right time. But why this is an album closer? Of course it fits well for an end, yet this song deserves more credit.
