The Northern Belle - “Merchant Navy Hotel”

“Music and melodically, the group stays true to their sound and the charm that makes them special. The song has a wonderful mix of effervescence and melancholy, ushered along by pristine harmonies.”

— Twangville

“Middlesbrough 1969: My grandparents rented a house from Mr. Cook. The boat my grandfather worked on was in port, and my grandmother visited from Norway. The visit was supposed to last a few days but lasted eight weeks. They went for coffee and movies at the Norwegian Seamen’s Church, played slot machines at the Merchant Navy Hotel, and went dancing. The song is based on letters sent between my grandparents.”
