Northlane & In Hearts Wake – Equinox

When this EP suddenly arrived in my inbox I couldn’t believe it was real, because it has two of Australia’s strongest rising acts coming together for something totally unexpected. Due to this surprise and their own individual prowess, I was expecting big things before even pressing play.

After listening to the three track EP, which is designed to be listened in sequence as one 12 minute long track, I couldn’t help but feel unsatisfied. I felt this way not because the EP was poor, but because it was so finely crafted that I was salivating for more, this just wasn’t enough for me.

Each band is allowed to showcase their strengths while simultaneously fusing together in such a way that the instrumentation of each individual band is hard to pinpoint at times.

As mentioned before this is a really nice (albeit short) project that has me eager to consume more. (JA)
