Northlane has released their take of Tame Impala’s Let It Happen as a single ahead of their first Australian headline tour in 18 months.
The cover version of the Tame Impala track was recorded while on tour in Europe at the legendary BBC Maida Vale Studios. The studios earned their place in music folklore after hosting the John Peel Sessions, which included live session recordings by artists such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and David Bowie.
The headline European tour, which saw Northlane sell out four shows in the UK, Paris and Germany, finishes this week with the band to head home immediately to begin the Australian leg of the tour in support of new album ‘Node’, which debuted at the top of the ARIA chart earlier this year.
The choice of cover songs might seem odd, but according to guitarist Josh Smith both Northlane and Tame Impala share a similar writing process and common threads within their music and lyrics.
Running throughout November, the Node tour will be the first Northlane headline shows since the highly successful Free Your Mind tour in May 2014 and will see new vocalist Marcus Bridge make his domestic debut. The Node tour is the culmination of a well-documented transformation for the band. Against all odds they discovered a vocalist that personified their ability and passion to take them to the next level, with the inclusion of Bridge reinvigorating everyone and inspiring the band to create the album.
