Exploration and Ascent - Pre-orders and Release date!

I know it has been a considerable wait, but I'm very pleased to finally announce that pre-orders of the new album "Exploration and Ascent" will be available from Sun Sea Sky through bandcamp from Tuesday 9th April, and the 'official' release date will follow on Tuesday 14th May! Pre-ordering the CD will get you not only an immediate download of the digital tracks but also a poster of the E&A artwork + badge (limited quantities of both are available!)... pretty happy with the artwork so I think the poster will look quite impressive. As a sample of the album I have just shared TWO more tracks on Soundcloud. Plays and comments (positive only, obviously...) are very welcome!

A lot of work has gone into the release, and I'm excited that people will finally be able hear it in its entirety. Any help you can give to help the label and myself with spreading the word, reviews, etc is very, very much appreciated!

Laurence Made Me Cry 'Paper Chains' - Northcape remix (limited free download!)

Hi - I'm pleased to say that a remix of the lovely 'Paper Chains' by Cardiff-based folk singer-songwriter Jo Whitby - Laurence Made Me Cry - is now up on soundcloud and also can be streamed below. There are only 1000 free downloads available so I recommend you get this quickly!

I really enjoyed working on this - obviously I don't normally work with vocals so it was fantastic to have the opportunity to work with not one, but two great vocal tracks, and the lyrics were also inspiring - thanks to Jo for the opportunity! I've stayed true to the original but tried to put a Northcape melodic electronic spin on the whole thing, you might notice that bass sound! The new Laurence Made Me Cry album is out on 11/03/2013 and available now for pre-order on bandcamp- I highly recommend you check it out.

New album update: February 2013

Hi, I'm aware there hasn't been much news on here for a bit so I thought I'd share the latest information. I know it's taking a while, sorry about the delay - but that is because this is being done properly and I think that the attention to detail that we are trying to put into the whole process (both myself and the label) will pay off in the final result! Sun Sea Sky are still sorting out the scheduling of the album, but you can expect pre-orders to be available through bandcamp in the relatively near future. These will come with a free badge and poster, the poster can be seen below. I'm quite pleased with how this has come out.

Expect more news soon regarding release dates. There are also various excellent artists working on a remix EP of tracks from the album, it's sounding great so far, and details of this to follow as well including details of the artists involved! It will be a free release through Sun Sea Sky

Cheers, and thanks for your patience! NC

Improved Northcape website now up!

Hi, I know it's not long since the last website update, but after using it for a year or so I decided that there were too many problems with the last version. It also didn't work at all on mobile phones. I've spent a few weeks re-writing it from scratch in wordpress - although it looks similar, it is completely new under the surface and I think will be easier to update going forward. Main updates are: 1) It's now 'responsive' and should work at least on some mobile phones, ipads etc. I obviously have only managed to test it on a few devices so let me know if you have problems. 2) The whole site is designed around Northcape's music and releases to a greater extent than before. This also feeds into the forthcoming new album release - more news shortly! 3) In general, I think the site should be easier and more straightforward to navigate. Anyway, please leave any comments here, or even better, on the guestbook: http://www.northcapemusic.co.uk/guestbook. As normal, any feedback on the music or site would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, NC
