After an 11 year hiatus since the last album, "Fin de siècle", Northern Valentine has released their third full length album, "The Infinite Bleed". While the music on this album explores territory that feels familiar to those who have been listening, a number of the songs represented here have shifted focus away from the guitars that defined the music on past recordings.

Covering a range of time from 2005 - 2015, the songs include some favorite moments spent exploring sound together. Ben Fleury-Steiner contributes his sound-crafting on the songs "Suppression" and "Penance". The song "Inside" was recorded live at The Random Tea Room in Philadelphia in 2013, and features Jay Baron (Cloudminder) on guitar. The opening and closing tracks, "302" and "The Infinite Bleed", are versions of the first and last songs that were played at their only live performance in 2015.

There are a lot of emotions wrapped within these songs. They are intended to be listened to with your favorite headphones - preferably in a dark room.

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

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.
