Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

What lays beyond the outer reaches could be considered sanctuary, but it is only in The Far North that truth reveals the extent of Songs For Gentle Souls and those that wish to see them succeed.

From the ashes of The Fireflys, Lee Wylding has stepped out of the embers and taken on the solo persona of The Far North, a name, a title, a declaration spoken as to the hardiness and world wise effect that the album has on the listener as the music and the soul of the performer combine with ease, sensitivity and fierce tradition.
