Our Take

Gregory Alan Isakov's album "This Empty Northern Hemisphere" is a delightful blend of folk and indie rock, like a delicious musical curry that leaves you feeling warm and satisfied. Isakov's intricate fingerpicking guitar work combined with his hauntingly beautiful vocals create a serene, dream-like atmosphere that transports listeners to a cozy cabin in the mountains.

The album opens with the ethereal track "Dandelion Wine," which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its intimate lyrics and soothing melodies. Isakov's storytelling ability shines on tracks like "Evelyn" and "Light Year," painting vivid pictures of love, loss, and the passage of time.

Throughout "This Empty Northern Hemisphere," Isakov showcases his knack for crafting intricate arrangements that are both intricate and accessible. The layered instrumentation on songs like "That Moon Song" and "Big Black Car" adds depth and texture to the overall sound, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is as pleasing to the ears as it is thought-provoking.

Overall, Isakov's "This Empty Northern Hemisphere" is a masterclass in storytelling through music, a captivating journey through the landscapes of the heart and mind. So grab a cup of tea, light a fire, and let Gregory Alan Isakov serenade you into a dreamlike state of bliss. You won't be disappointed.
