Irish producer duo Somewhere North impress with their second single “In Elegy.” The musical partnership of Geoff Warner Clayton and Gary O’Neill results in a thoroughly compelling sound here, traversing seamlessly from panting percussion and wintry piano into a powerful melding of vocal steadiness and guitar-driven momentum. An invigorating ascent takes hold past the one-minute turn, with a title-referencing lyrical prowess exuding an artful precision as swipes of strings converge with the bursting guitar work. “In Elegy” is an emotive, dynamic success from the talented duo.
