Swedish melancholic synthwave/electro duo The Northern Territories, who returned from a 25-year hiatus, have now released the long-awaited album A Star In Orbit Still via Dependent Records. This new acclaimed album is the fourth full-length from the Swedish duo and has already been heralded as 'The Album of the Month' in some German magazines.
Alongside the album comes a new video single cover of Lana Del Rey's "Say Yes To Heaven". Vocalist and multi-instrumentalist John Alexander Ericson explains: "The video for our cover of Lana Del Rey's 'Say Yes to Heaven' consists of footage that we have lifted from our first ever video clip, 'Midnight Ambulance', which we shot in Stockholm during the summer of 1994. We have not released an album in 25 long years, so it made sense to us to include these images as a nod to our past and as a reminder to ourselves and to others about how it all started."
The entire new album is available for streaming, and if you've missed the previously released singles, "The Hunter And The Hunted" and "Arizona", you can check them out over HERE and HERE. Link
