Los Angeles four-piece Great Northern (made up of ex-members of Earlimart, Whirlpool and 30 Seconds to Mars) has crafted (in my opinion) one of the Ten Best Albums of the Year... their debut album, "Trading Twilight for Daylight," is lush dream pop at its best. ...as flawless and beautiful as the drifting wax of a lava lamp...
I've uploaded a couple of songs to check out... but the whole album is this good... (I was in a complete quandary about which two songs to pick... I so wanted to post "Our Bleeding Hearts," the gorgeous opener to this cd...)
Definitely a band to watch. (and I wanna do an album cover for 'em, dammit!)

this 'dream pop' is very cool, I will keep my ears to the tracks for these cats...thanks...go ahead and design a cover and send it in, it wouldn't hurt, and you never know they might like it enough to use it....

A lot of good music coming off that west coast lately. This is right up there with the best. Loved it!!
thanks for the badass compliments!!! we'd LOVE to see your artwork... and while there isn't a new album cover in the works at the moment -- the band just released their prequel EP digitally and I'm SURE we'll be looking for amazing artists for posters, flyers and e-cards. Check out the new ep here: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=266881601&s=143441

I agree with you Zenpop this made my top ten list this year, my favorite is Telling Lies besides the opener. I heard them previwed on KCRW Nick Harcourt weekend show last summer and was hooked.
