Out of northern Minnesota comes “Ever North” – the second single from Panopticon’s upcoming “Laurentian Blue”, set for release on August 15. ⏩ https://nordvis.lnk.to/panopticon Written alongside “...And Again into the Light” (2021), “Laurentian Blue” trades distortion for acoustic resonance – banjo, mandolin, resonator guitar, and twin violins painting a soundscape steeped in frost, memory, and resilience. While the palette is gentler, the themes remain no less weighty: the burden of regret, the passage of time, and the quiet act of holding on – not for oneself, but for those who remind us of our worth. Austin Lunn commented: The song is about trying to find where you belong – feeling like nowhere is home, always searching for a place where you fit. I grew up in the South, born in Tennessee and raised in the Delta region, and I’ve been moving north ever since... to Kentucky, then Norway, then Minnesota – and now to far northern Minnesota, near the Canadian border. It feels like I’ve been following a winding road ever further north in search of that place. Ever North is about exactly that – finding somewhere you can be yourself without the scrutiny of others. Somewhere that gives you the confidence not to care about outside judgment, because the land itself makes you feel whole.
