Description

‘3’ is the third album by Men Of North Country and the first on Acid Jazz group label Well Suspect Records.

Featuring wistful jangle-pop ‘Out on the Hills’, rollicking and celebratory ‘Happy Birthday, Child’, sweeping anthemic bravado ‘There is Light’, a romantic indie love ballad ‘They Don’t Know’ (the Kirsty MacColl’s classic) plus sexy rock’n’roll ‘Since I found my Love’.

Oh, and they haven’t abandoned their Northern Soul roots just sprinkle some talcum powder on the floor and soar away to the sound of ‘Ravens’, plus a brilliant down-and-dirty rendition of Sam Dees’s dance-floor filler ‘Lonely for You Baby’.

Opening with the soulful soundscape of ‘Titanic’ and closing with their dark version of Californian 60s garage-rock gem ‘Rari’ by The Standells this album is a ride through diverse musical territories, all the while retaining the melodic heart and soul of the band.
