Picture Ann Travels To Northumberland

«Inspired by a handful of trips to Newcastle upon Tyne and Tynemouth these past few years and more specifically the rich history surrounding those parts of England and the whole cultural landscape in the Northeast, a morose and reverb-drenched collection of tunes collectively known as From the Windswept Shore of Tynemouth has presented itself.»

J.N. forteller: «I was greatly inspired by the somewhat subtle sense of melancholy that courses through the fabric of Newcastle’s heritage; he Roman settlements and Norman strongholds, the medieval castles and fortresses, the industrial revolution and the age of coal, iron, and steam, the bridges and railways, the men marching off to fight in WWI, the arrival of punk rock and birth of black metal . . . there is just so much to immerse oneself in and be inspired by.

In what felt like twenty minutes came five bleak-sounding songs harboring a pensive mood that arose thanks to what I saw, read, and heard when exploring the magnificent city and its surroundings with themes such as hardship, perseverance, and longevity serving as the main themes. Northumberland is without doubt one of my favorite places to visit.»
