Combining a layered instrumental foundation with driving rhythms and melodic
vocals, Northern Room spent the next six months crafting their unique sound. Then, in the Spring of
2005, they fled their home state of Wisconsin and recorded the Last Embrace EP in Nashville,
Tennessee.
This first official recording, released independently in the United States in February of 2006,
includes the dreamy Galaxy, the haunting This Wreckage, and the electronic-flavored Last
Embrace. In January of 2007, Northern Room returned to the studio to record an additional four
songs which were independently released as the Only Seconds EP, including the atmospheric Stars
of God and the driving rock hit We're On Fire. In April of 2007, Japanese label BM.3 Records
released the contents of both EPs as a full-length album -- titled Last Embrace -- in Japan.
In late 2007, Northern Room combined the ten tracks from both EPs, three live acoustic tracks, and
one previously unreleased song — Home — to create Last Embrace - Deluxe Edition. This
enhanced CD, which also contains a music video for Last Embrace, was independently released
internationally in November of 2007.
Building from a packed residency at Milwaukee's Hi Hat Lounge in the Spring, Northern Room is
touring regionally in the Midwest to a rapidly-growing fan base, supporting such bands as the
OneRepublic, The BoDeans, The Bravery, Silversun Pickups, Jack's Mannequin, Ben Lee, The Hush
Sound, Bon Jovi, The Gufs, Mute Math and Switchfoot.
