In the early 21st century, Northbound was formed with the intention to create beautiful, soulful instrumental music with a homegrown feel. After a few years in the university of trial and error their music began to find its shape, in a colourful style that some people refer to as combination of trip hop, downtempo, jazz and folkish acoustic pop. Their first songs have received a very positive response, and have since then been heard on few (mainly finnish) radio stations, on many compilations, some tv-shows and on the soundtrack of various snowboarding films. Now Northbound come up with their debut album "Landscapes Of Nowhere" that was released on Lemongrassmusic in April 2012.
