Appreciation... Northern Portrait

I adore the sound of Northern Portrait, and their write up on Matinee Recordings' website so perfectly captures the elements of what I gravitate to in a band and their sound.

"Formed in Copenhagen, Denmark in the Summer of 2007, Northern Portrait is a band who's raison d'être is the making of sophisticated pop music. Thus, Northern Portrait is the sound of elegantly driving guitars, the energy of sometimes gently outrageous lyrics and the mood of late autumn afternoons in the city. Northern Portrait are (left to right) Michael Sørensen, Stefan Larsen, Caspar Bock Sørensen, and Jesper Bonde."

This is the video for their 2008 track, "Crazy", from their Fallen Aristocracy EP. An EP I was fortunate enough to find a summer ago at Repo Records in Philly!
