North Of America - This Is Dance Floor Numerology
Review by Eva Terhorst
North Of America's album, This Is Dance Floor Numerology, is a unique and eclectic collection of tracks that will have listeners grooving from start to finish. The band's signature blend of post-hardcore and math rock is on full display here, with intricate guitar work and driving rhythms that will keep even the most jaded music fan engaged.
The album opens with the frenetic "Rigged And Ready," which sets the tone for what's to come. From there, the band takes the listener on a journey through a variety of moods and styles, from the dreamy "Mystery Language" to the propulsive "Dusk And Her Embrace."
One of the standout tracks is "The Future Is Bright," a catchy and anthemic song that showcases the band's ability to craft a memorable chorus. Meanwhile, "Spectacular Light Show" is a more experimental track that features a spoken-word section and a jarring, stop-start rhythm.
