This post-something piece of musical beauty that is ‘Where Are You Now’ by The Heavy North really is something of a masterclass in musicianship.
The instruments just quite pleasantly sort of soar along through the track. Not with any form of melancholy, just the opposite. It’s almost as if the song is meant to be a bit of a heartfelt, angry message but musically it sort of holds back from letting go a bit too much.
In terms of a piece of music this one really is great. The six-piece, formed and based out of Liverpool, have had enormous amounts of success in recent years with a critically acclaimed debut album along with sold out shows at the likes of Liverpools iconic Arts Club. They don’t look like slowing that progress down anytime soon, that’s for sure!
I’d tip them for huge things if this is the constant standard of music they’re putting out.
The vocal performance is the only part of this track that I’m not a huge fan of, I just feel like it could travel to a different place and more melodicism could be incorporated to make the song even catchier than it is already.
All in all, a huge track from a band who I believe are really only at the start of their journey to the top.
