This is not a really new album by North of America but rather a compilation of older and hard to find songs. 20 songs in total, among them the entire ‘Elements of an incomplete map’ album that was previously released in Canada only along with the ‘Bayonet Point’ 7” and some compilation and demo tracks some of which could never be heard before. The sound of North of America is a wild mixture of indie rock, punk and math rock, which means that fans of bands like Fugazi might like this band, too. All of the songs on this CD were re-mastered and you’d better be fast to get this release as it is limited to 1,500 copies and has a nice layout. Good stuff! - VOICEOFREASON.DE
