"3" is the third album from Men Of North Country and their first on Acid Jazz’s imprint, Well Suspect Records. It features the melancholic jangle-pop of "Out on the Hills", the rollicking and celebratory "Happy Birthday, Child", the defiant anthem "There is Light", the romantic indie love ballad "They Don't Know" (the Kirsty MacColl classic) and the sexy rock'n'roll of "Since I found my Love". Oh, and they haven't abandoned their Northern Soul roots – just sprinkle some talcum powder on the floor and take flight to the sound of "Ravens", plus a brilliant, down-and-dirty rendition of Sam Dees' "Lonely for You Baby" which fills dancefloors. Opening with the soulful soundscape of "Titanic" and closing with their dark take on "Rari", a 60s Californian garage-rock gem by The Standells, this album is a journey through diverse musical territories, whilst still retaining the band's melodic heart and soul.
