Questions and Answers with Eric Barnett guitarist for Points North
February 15, 2012
Eric Barnett
01. In March, Points North is releasing “Road Less Traveled” album, could you describe the idea behind the album?
Well, it’s our first album…and accordingly, I’d describe the idea behind the album as the story of the band thus far. Very little about Points North – the way in which the band formed, the makeup of its members, the path we’ve taken to get to this point, even down to the music itself – has been what one might describe as “conventional”. Just being an instrumental band in the first place, in this day and age, is arguably a statement of individuality.
So “Road Less Traveled”, the title inspired by the Robert Frost poem “Road Not Taken” and its ending, “I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference“, felt like a good description for the journey we’ve been on – individually and collectively – that we felt was reflected in the music we’d created for the album.
