Today, hard rock dynamic duo Capital North announced details for their debut EP, Sea To Sky, which has been set for release on March 2nd, 2018. Recorded at The Pie Studios in Pasadena, Sea To Sky was engineered by Nels Jensen (Sigur Rós, Jamie Foxx) with tracking by Devyn June, and mixed/mastered by Bertrand and Eric Poncet (of Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!) at Alias Studio.
Comprised of ex-Lights In The Sky members Jonathan Farrar (Guitar/Vocals) and Anthony Zichella (Vocals), Capital North was formed after Farrar traveled the world for a year on a mission of soul searching while Zichella went on to graduate culinary school and pursue his passion as a chef, but both found their way back to music. Together, the duo have created a 6-track EP that discusses relatable topics from personal struggles like health, love, and loss to the human condition. The band had this to say about the EP:

“We are ecstatic to finally release our debut EP, Sea To Sky. This album marks a rebirth and transformation in the long-standing career of our previous project, Lights In The Sky, which has re-emerged as Capital North. The album centers around the concept of a lifecycle, and the struggles between birth and death. Much love to our fans for sticking by our side through this rebrand – we cannot wait to share this album with you!”
In Review: Sea To Sky is as promised, a powerful offering of driving and vigor driven rock, it captures the senses and makes good on it’s promise to empower. Capital North has hit the ground running, directly into you and will take you down in a moment of fury only to lift you up. this is hella fun music in a nice, neat little package, ready to serve up some hot love.
Capital North is a hard rock dynamic duo from Pasadena, CA, consisting of Jonathan Farrar (Guitar/Vocals) and Anthony Zichella (Vocals). Formed in the summer of 2016 after the disbanding of their former pop-punk/post-hardcore band, Lights In The Sky, the two came together to form a band that would best showcase who they are as musicians and thus, Capital North was born. After the split of LITS, Farrar packed his bag and traveled the world for a year on a mission of soul searching while Zichella graduated from culinary school and moved to Portland to pursue his passion as a chef, but both found their way back to one thing; music.
Before long, the two began planning the direction of what would be Capital North from separate continents. While traveling in Iceland, Farrar visited a unique and beautiful town called Akureyri, better known as the ‘Capital of the North.’ Leaving a lasting impression on him, he realized it accurately described the duo’s current state of emotions as they strive to get back to what is important with “capital” being an integral place or feeling while “north” describes the direction in which to get there. Farrar shares, “Essentially, this name means getting back to what is important. That is what we have experienced time and time again – always straying, but always returning to music because it is such a vital aspect of our existence and being.”
As a band, Capital North has created a sound that is a drastic change from their former project and focuses on connecting with listeners through relatable lyrical themes and honest melodies. Recorded at The Pie Studios in Pasadena, the band’s debut EP, Sea To Sky, was engineered by Nels Jensen (Sigur Rós, Jamie Foxx) with tracking by Devyn June, and mixed/mastered by Bertrand and Eric Poncet (of Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!) at Alias Studio. The six-track EP is set to be released on March 2nd, 2018 and discusses real life experiences including struggles with health, relationships, life, and death. With the release of Sea To Sky, Capital North looks excitedly toward the future and the potential of making a monumental impact in the music scene and beyond. - IndiePulse Music
