"The Caravan Recordings I" by Great North is the first in a series of recordings offered by the Barcelona based label Son Canciones. Son Canciones turned an old caravan into the control room of a recording studio. They will look for unique places with unique acoustics, fill it with old microphones, park the caravan next to it and record their favorite artists accompanied by a duo of strings. First up is Great North, one of New Zealand's most acclaimed indie-folk bands. The album was recorded in an old mill in a little Belgian village in the early winter of 2017.
Great North, which is centred around husband-and-wife duo Hayden and Rachel Donnell, play folk music with a bit of Bruce Springsteen-inspired Americana thrown in. Over the last eight years, they've cemented themselves as one of New Zealand's hardest-working and most accomplished independent acts, playing gigs in bars, halls and tin sheds from Auckland to Okarito. They have also extensively toured around Europe. Between shows, they released four albums, two of which - Halves and Up In Smoke - won Folk Album of the Year at the New Zealand Music Awards.
It’s an album you need to find time to listen to, sip a whiskey, delve into the lyrics and let it wash over you. You can tell we’re fans. - FINN MCLENNAN-ELLIOTT Second Hand Touring
Un vivido spaccato della reciproca dimestichezza nella creazione di lievi strutture armoniche, che rinnova la magia propria di tanti duetti acustici indie-folk. - Raffaello Russo Music Won't Save You
