Recorded at Orbit Audio in Pioneer Square and Temple of the Trees Studio in Normandy Park, “People of the Snake” is a testament to The Northern Light’s dedication to their craft. The song’s raw energy and evocative lyrics draw inspiration from real-life events in the 1860s, reflecting the band’s commitment to social commentary through their music. David Pollon’s stirring vocals, combined with Carl Larsson’s dynamic bass and synths, and Kip Rondorf’s powerful drumming, create a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.

In the words of the PopHits.Co music curator team, “The Northern Light’s ‘People of the Snake’ is as evocative as the high desert landscape that inspired it, dedicated to a population forgotten in the name of progress. This track is a striking example of their genre-defying style and storytelling prowess.” This release highlights their ability to seamlessly blend influences from iconic artists like Neil Young and Dinosaur Jr., resulting in a sound that is distinctly their own.

“People of the Snake” is not just a song, but a narrative that speaks to the forgotten voices of history. The Northern Light’s ability to weave such powerful messages into their music sets them apart from many contemporary bands. Their commitment to delivering thought-provoking content is evident in every note and lyric, making their music not only enjoyable but also meaningful.

For those eager to explore more of The Northern Light’s work, you’ll find that their performances are as compelling as their recordings. Known for their energetic live shows in and around Seattle, they have a dedicated following that grows with each gig.
