Juliette Whiskey Delta Northern Valentine is a very underrated band. This might be my favorite album of theirs. Sounds like Popol Vuh and Acid Mothers Temple had a very mellow baby. Favorite track: Dance of the Ragged Spirits.

about

Remastered from our extensive archive of recordings, Dance of the Ragged Spirits presents a side of Northern Valentine that hasn't been well documented in the past. The album features five songs that include drums and percussive elements, which frequently accompanied performances and studio sessions between 2006 - 2009.

It might not be the same Northern Valentine that you've heard before, but this sound has always been a part of the group - and life is too short to not share these moments.

Matt's brother, Luke Primak (Appalachian Translator, Garbage Snake), is featured on this recording - as he effortlessly weaves his guitar throughout the songs "Bacchanal", "Communion", "The Crest", and "Dance of the Ragged Spirits".

Recommended for listening with you favorite pair of headphones.

about

Northern Valentine Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"Northern Valentine’s music delivers a sense of floating in space or a communion with nature where the listener is enveloped in clouds of billowing sonics. The listener’s imagination can run wild creating images to accompany this ambient soundtrack...In sum, an awesomely hypnotic listening experience."...Jeff Penczak (Foxy Digitalis) ... more
