CMJ (p.42) - "Another solid offering....Singers Solon Bixler and Rachel Stolte can really hook into their harmonies..."
Great Northern: Solon Bixler, Rachel Stolte, Davey Latter, Ashely Derigian.
On its 2007 debut album, TRADING TWILIGHT FOR DAYLIGHT, the Los Angeles-based indie-pop quartet Great Northern unveils a lush and layered set of songs. Fronted by singers Solon Bixler and Rachel Stolte, the group mixes subtle electronics into its guitar/piano-driven arrangements (see the shimmering "Home"), often recalling the defunct Scottish band the Delgados (who, oddly enough, have an album called THE GREAT EASTERN) in both its boy/girl vocals and its ambitious aesthetic.
