The mysterious Troy returns on DR with his second EP ever released. It seems like the perfect time for Troys Northbound EP, 4 very distinctive, cold, yet beautifully designed pieces, which perfectly underline the atmosphere this time of year. On the A side, detail and evolution are the foundation of the lengthy *BH3*, which also futures a hard hitting remix by Takaaki Itoh from Japan. The B side features two more melodic cuts. *Archer* stresses the journey into the cold, with its synth work nearing dissonance, while remaining in complex and admirable harmony. The title track *Northbound* is a more straight forward loop, which builds up to something rather chilly and unheard before.
