"The Chapel Hill, NC band North Elementary is a musical collective that orbits around the songs of John Harrison. With an inventive and soulful approach to songs, North Elementary creates moments that are beautifully original yet surprisingly familiar.
In the early 1990's, Harrison began recording songs and homemade sounds in bedrooms and basements across North Carolina via his boom box. Around the turn of the century, he acquired a 4-track and the ability to combine his songs and sounds into static, beep-filled, three-dimensional compositions. As a founding member of the psychrock band The Comas, most of Harrison's time was spent recording (Wave to Make Friends and Def Needle in Tomorrow) and touring, leaving little time for what was to become North Elementary. In 2002, Harrison parted ways with The Comas to prioritize his own musical endeavors.
With the help of friends, including Jason Ross (Seven Mary Three) and Sir Jerry Kee (Superchunk, Mendoza Line), North Elementary recorded the albums Out of Phase, Lose Your Favorite Things and the 7" project Weeble Wobble Sound Series (all released on sit-n-spin records). These records garnered high praise - 'Lo-Fi Music Masterpiece' (Dominion Post), 'Top 10 Albums of 2004' (Left of the Dial), 'One of the Best Freakn' Bands in the World' (JANE magazine)."
