Background notes
Archive material and source history
Magnetic North formed in 2009 around singer-songwriter Rob Jarman. Their debut album 'The Skeletons of All That Was' arrived in 2011, followed by 'Orkney: Symphony of the Magnetic North' in 2013, which incorporated orchestral arrangements. They released 'Prospect of Skelmersdale' in 2016.
Their songs like 'Drift Away' and 'Home' often blend folk and rock elements with atmospheric touches. Jarman's vocals and guitar work anchor the sound, with contributions over time from musicians including Chris Hillman on drums, Neil Pennycook on bass, and Simon Edwards on guitars.
The band's lyrics sometimes drew attention for their directness, which found both appreciation and criticism. They kept working without much compromise to their approach, putting out material that felt consistent in its mood and themes.
