I do my bestest. Since you ended up liking Emphemetry, I figured you may enjoy him.

Dakota Suite & Emanuele Errante - The North Green Down



Well, as you all probably know by now, I'm a huge fan of Modern Classical. Great releases come out all the

time, but sometimes you'll have to revisit it a couple times for it to click. Such was the case with this

album.

The back story of North Green Down is that Chris Hooson of Dakota Suite's sister in law died of cancer, and is

supposed to be a sort of tribute to her. You can hear that quite readily, but it's understandably dirgeful. I

mean, it IS dedicated to someone who recently passed away. Luckily, it doesn't just sound "sad"; it's not just

an album filled with dirges. It is, as a whole, driven by feelings in general.

It's quite refreshing to hear such an album come out THIS year. It makes you feel hope for the future of

Modern Classical.
