MAY 10, 2021 – SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Fresh from the release of their Remix EP 5G, Northlane are backing it up with a new EP release called 2D. The 5-track release, due out May 21 via UNFD, features acoustic versions of fan-favorites from the band’s Alien era, including “Rift”, which fans can check out
here.
Northlane vocalist Marcus Bridge explains how 2D adds another dimension to these tracks:
“Recording an acoustic EP is something that we’ve wanted to do for quite some time and felt right with the personal nature of the songs from ‘Alien’. I wanted to strip these songs back to the bare minimum to juxtapose the soundscapes of the album, a 2D version of sorts. A song like ‘Rift’ has a completely different energy in this context and took on new meaning with the recording in the depths of lockdown, now almost feeling like a cry of frustration and despair.”
In addition, 2D will feature a heartbreaking stripped-back version of “Sleepless,” which originally debuted in the band’s 2020 documentary “
Negative Energy.”
2D Tracklist
1. Bloodline (acoustic)
3. 4D (acoustic)
4. Enemy Of The Night (acoustic)
5. Sleepless (acoustic)
Northlane will celebrate the release of both 2D and 5G with a limited run of exclusive 12-inch colored LP offerings. Fans can now pre-order at
