Review

Spin (p.136) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "MCs Hesta Prynn, Spero, and Sprout morph into an electro-rock trio on the jump-along 'Better Already'..."
Entertainment Weekly (p.148) - "[They] branch out with moody ballads and frisky new-wave anthems. It's an audacious leap forward..." -- Grade: A-
Uncut (p.p.101) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[P]unchy electro-rock....Best of all are the lyrics, with fragments of nursery rhymes, playground chants, witty wordplay and light-hearted braggadocio..."
Alternative Press (p.176) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[They] explore everything from point-shoed new wave to soft-flutter electro-rock....Like PAUL's BOUTIQUE, the results are as unexpected as they are lethal."

Title Note

Northern State: Spero (guitar, keyboards); Hesta Prynn (keyboards); Sprout (bass guitar).

Personnel: Justin Thompson (guitar); Dan Lipton (Wurlitzer piano); Johnny Rodeo (sound effects).

Additional personnel: Mr. Murray Hill (spoken vocals); Chuck Brody (various instruments, drum programming); Chris Feinstein, Katie Cassidy (guitar); Kaki King (lap steel guitar); Steve Halpern (keyboard, bass guitar, drum programming); Seth H. Johnson (drums); Nik At Nite (programming, scratches); Adrock (programming); Nachos.

There's no question that Hesta Prynn, Sprout, and Spero have lifted a lot from the Beastie Boys--from their infectious, 2-bar, back-and-forth vocals down to the content of their charismatic, quick-rhyme musings ("I'm Hesta Prynn/Let me begin/I like my coffee with lots of gin"). On their third official release, CAN I KEEP THIS PEN?, the trio continue in the same vein, peppering their old-school, tag-team rhyme cadence with clever pop-culture metaphors and coffee-shop intellectual references. The girls also wander into alt-rock territory on a few guitar-driven dirges ("Better Already," "Away, Away," "Run Off the Road"). CAN I KEEP THIS PEN? features production work from Chuck Brody of Shitake Monkey and Adrock himself.
