Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:38:41 GMT

Dreamt up by New York City area (New Jersey) musician Nicholas Long (aka Wavewulf), “The North and the Sea” is a concept album based around an arctic/sea/Scandinavian theme. The impetus for the album came about during Long’s trip to Iceland in the autumn of 2021. While there, he found himself thinking about the power of the sea, of water, and other geological forces that make Iceland’s exotic landscape exist. Before the trip, he had been feeling claustrophobic and disconnected from people. Long says that the trip gave him a feeling of freedom – freedom to move, freedom to see, and freedom to connect. In addition, Long says that direction has always been important to him; maps, latitude, longitude, where one IS in the world. Reflecting on the album name, Wavewulf explains that “The North” is a metaphor for truth and “The Sea” signifies freedom.The album not only encompasses an overriding theme drawing from the energy of Scandinavia and the Arctic seas, it expands on Wavewulf’s ...
