█│ │█
█│ When the solar winds blow charged particles into the │█
█│ earth's atmosphere, bizarre light phenomena occur, │█
█│ but only north of the 60th degree of latitude. At │█
█│ least that's what was still considered common │█
█│ knowledge in the last millennium. Since then views │█
█│ have changed, we now know that the most impressive │█
█│ illuminations come into being under the nocturnal │█
█│ skies of the beautiful city of Erfurt. Which is the │█
█│ hometown of Northern Lite. │█
█│ │█
█│ In their twelfth year of firing electro meteors into │█
█│ the firmament, their radiating power has become a │█
█│ household name both nationally and internationally. │█
█│ Five studio albums, a hundred thousand spectators at │█
█│ their latest "Super Black" tour and remixes for the │█
█│ likes of Rammstein ("Rosenrot"), Yello ("Planet │█
█│ Dada") or Peaches ("Set It Off") speak for │█
█│ themselves. Their cover of Queens of The Stone Age │█
█│ ,Go With The Flow" is a sure fire show-stopper. │█
█│ Northern Lite were honoured with the Dance Music │█
█│ Award in the category "Best Indie/Electronic Artist" │█
█│ and left their mark at the otherwise somewhat │█
█│ monochrome "Bundesvision Song Contest". "Letters & │█
█│ Signs", their 6th album, is being released now, after│█
█│ to excursions into the world of major labels │█
█│ ("Unisex" and "Super Black") they're back to │█
█│ independent. And that's just the first part, ,Letters│█
█│ & Signs - Part Two" is coming early next year. │█
█│ │█
█│ Northern Lite have created their own genre. Back │█
█│ when heavy current and microchip electronics were │█
█│ considered strict enemies, they managed to smuggle │█
█│ vinyl cases of neo-techno-beats into the guitar camp.│█
█│ Consequently Andreas Kubat and Sebastian Bohn proved,│█
█│ that electronic music and classic song writing don't │█
█│ necessarily exclude each other. Thus the step from │█
█│ being a producer two-piece to performing as a real │█
█│ band was a small one. The guitar players Frithjof │█
█│ R"del and Valerian Herdam are by now a fixed part of │█
█│ the regular line-up. Terms like electronic indie, │█
█│ rocking electro pop and indietronic have become a │█
█│ fine repertoire of contemporary pop music vocabulary.│█
█│ │█
█│ "Letters & Signs" continues to play that game open │█
█│ minded. The title track, which is released as an │█
█│ advance single, melts hymnic melodies, driving │█
█│ guitars and synthesizer sweeps into an energetic │█
█│ amalgam. "I grope in the dark / I can't find my mark │█
█│ / I touch and I feel / but nothing is real" - great │█
█│ pop lyrics that deal with the feeling of │█
█│ disorientation in a maelstrom of hieroglyphs, while │█
█│ trying to realign. And so the leitmotif is set: a │█
█│ precisely defined song structure, carefully arranged │█
█│ as a counterpoint to confusing emotions. │█
█│ │█
█│ The tension between social regulations and the inner │█
█│ workings of the individual has been the subject of │█
█│ the oeuvre of many philosophers and poets. One of the│█
█│ greatest among them was William Blake. With "The Sick│█
█│ Rose" and "Land Of Dreams" Northern Lite have worked │█
█│ two of his poems into songs - dark, techno-ish, but │█
█│ full of hope. │█
█│ │█
█│ "Letters & Signs" is a statement. Northern Lite have │█
█│ told the major label "farewell". Kubat says: "It was │█
█│ a trial. But we are very happy to have gained back │█
█│ full artistic control." This shows when listening to │█
█│ "Letters & Signs". Most different influences are │█
█│ thrown in the mix, with the result being one of │█
█│ liberated creative forces. The ten songs were │█
█│ produced by Kubat and Northern Lite themselves and │█
█│ mixed by Philipp Hoppen, who has been twisting the │█
█│ knobs for "Die Žrzte" or the "Beatsteaks", amongst │█
█│ others. │█
█│ │█
█│ "Letters & Signs - Part One" so far is the peak of │█
█│ Northern Lite's musical development. The second part,│█
█│ which is due in spring 2010, is still in the making. │█
█│ It will shift the focus from song-oriented structures│█
█│ to club-oriented sounds - less guitars, more │█
█│ electricity. With a straight self-confidence they │█
█│ walk between the pools - between fiction and reality,│█
█│ happiness and despair, light and darkness. Wondering │█
█│ what kind of land it really is, this land of dreams? │█
