MEN OF THE NORTH COUNTRY - THE NORTH, SEALED VINYL ALBUM

Men Of North Country started by chance, when soul DJ Yashiv Cohen was overheard singing along to the tunes he was playing at one of his Tel Aviv Soul Club parties. With the encouragement and eventual collaboration of his musician friends he formed Israel’s finest soul outfit. And whilst managing to they stay true to their beloved 60’s Soul they also introduce a contemporary, fresh and personal twist.

 

In 2010 Men Of North Country signed with Acid Jazz Records, who put out their debut 7” - the double A-side single “Man of North Country/Debut” - that defined the fresh soul sound of tomorrow. The single garnered glowing reviews and was met with excitement all over Europe’s mod and soul scene.

 

The second single, a cover version of The Human League’s “Mirror Man” was a cheeky taster of what was to expect from the long awaited and exciting MONC debut album, The North. An album rippling with memorable melodies, infectious hooks and refreshingly honest lyrics, which betray their love of a genre in which they truly excel.

 

Influences worn with pride - The Teardrop Explodes, Style Council and Dexys, but with an approving nods towards their 60’s favourites - Al Wilson, Robert Parker and Gloria Jones.

 

Essential.
