The Gentle Northern Wind

by Ben deHoedt

supported by

matt harris It's a brave man who steps so fully into the realm of neo-prog-folk in 2018-9 to realise such a complete group of tracks. A puzzle, wrapped in steel strings, covered by forest-green felt. Favorite track: The Last One Standing.

about

“The Gentle Northern Wind” is, at its core, a ‘singer / songwriter’ album. It is a love letter to the explorative rock of the likes of Crimson and Genesis, an homage to Stephen King and a world of its own.
