A (relatively) in-depth analysis of Exit North, the musical collaboration between Steve Jansen, Thomas Feiner, Ulf Jansson and Charlie Storm in under thirty minutes.

Former Japan-drummer Jansen established a co-writing connection with singer Thomas Feiner in 2007 for his first solo album 'Slope'. Feiner co-wrote the track 'Sow The Salt.'

For Jansen's second album 'Tender Extinction', Feiner co-wrote the track 'Captured.' They felt they had similar musical incentives and in 2014, Jansen proposed a more permanent partnership. Feiner had been co-composing some sketches and ideas with pianist Ulf Jansson, so this was the starting point for new material and they became a three-piece. Feiner had earlier forged a friendship with multi-instrumentalist/engineer/producer Charlie Storm, who also knew Ulf Jansson, who had worked as a session pianist on some acts Storm had produced.

From start to completion, the album was a four-year journey, recorded in Storm's studio in Gothenburg.

In this episode I am in discussion with Dr. Andrew Webber.
