The Swedish melancholic synth duo has used the time well to hone their musical prowess and to think hard about how they wanted their unique sound to come across in the present. As a result of this intense thought process, the stunning album &#8220;A Star in Orbit Still&#8221; combines everything that made the band great and generated a dedicated and loyal following that eagerly awaited their return during all those years with a contemporary sound design. Channeling their trademark melancholy and Nordic knack for captivating melodies, THE NORTHERN TERRITORIES did not even shy away from covering LANA DEL REY&#8217;s iconic track &#8216;Say Yes to Heaven&#8217; and to make it theirs. When the Swedish duo disbanded after the release of their third full-length &#8220;Satellite People&#8221; in 1999, they left behind many a broken heart in the electronic music scene that was mourning the loss of a one of a kind band with a unique sonic appearance. THE NORTHERN TERRITORIES&#8217; combination of outstanding songwriting with a strong melancholic Nordic tint as well as semi-acoustic, semi-electronic instrumentation created their very own version of a dreampop soundscape. With \u201cA Star in Orbit Still&#8217;, THE NORTHERN TERRITORIES are not just back on track as if nothing happened in the years of their absence, but the Swedes return on top of their game and fully ready to climb new peaks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Bandcamp:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thenorthernterritories.bandcamp.com\/album\/a-star-in-orbit-still\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/thenorthernterritories.bandcamp.com\/album\/a-star-in-orbit-still<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/1GebFOAFAidf395X1GHHxh\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE NORTHERN TERRITORIES celebrate today&#8217;s release of their new album, &#8220;A Star in Orbit Still,&#8221; with a new video single cover of Lana Del Rey&#8217;s &#8220;Say Yes to Heaven.&#8221; This new acclaimed album is the fourth full-length from this Swedish melancholic synth duo and has already been heralded as &#8216;The Album of the Month&#8217; in&hellip;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/?p=13068\" rel=\"bookmark\">Read More &raquo;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Swedish Synth Duo Release Video of Lana Del Rey Cover from New Album<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13069,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13068"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13068\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13070,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13068\/revisions\/13070"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/13069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
