Already living quietly in a slow country town, a period of intense world isolation prompted Spencer Burton to leave the city even further behind.
An overload of negative information and fear left him feeling hopeless and uninspired to create music. He sat back for a couple of years watching what felt like the world crumbling around him.
Retreating to a small off-grid cabin in Northern Ontario, Spencer reconnected with nature and found peace and comfort in isolation. Taking a step back from the realities of life let him step back into making music.
The majority of North Wind was written in the north woods, in solitude and reflection. And while the songs have a spiritual importance, they also speak to ordinary life away from it all–fishing, an encounter with a coyote, sitting with your own thoughts.
Recorded again in Nashville with Andrija Tokic the album fits sonically with the rest of Spencer’s catalogue, but the tone is noticeably different. The songs are easier, more comfortable, at ease. They encapsulate that same feeling he had out there alone, of singing by the campfire into the woods.
