A Northern Chorus

A Northern Chorus was a Canadian indie rock ensemble hailing from Hamilton, Ontario, active from 1999 to 2008. Known for their lush, atmospheric blend of shoegaze and post-rock, the band crafted dreamy soundscapes with layered guitars, strings, and the haunting male-female vocal harmonies of co-founders Stacey Bulmer and Pete Hall. Their introspective lyrics and cinematic arrangements earned them a cult following, particularly with albums like *Bitter Hands Resign* (2002) and their final release, *The Millions Too Many* (2007), which featured tracks like “Spirit Flags” and the title track.

Over their decade-long run, A Northern Chorus shared stages with Canadian indie heavyweights like Broken Social Scene and The Dears, and their music often evoked comparisons to slowcore and dream-pop acts. Despite critical praise for their emotional depth and textured sound, the band quietly disbanded in 2008, leaving behind a catalog that remains a hidden gem for fans of ethereal, mood-driven rock.
