Classic Rock MagazineFeb 8, 2019This is a beautiful record, a reflection on an extraordinary 50-year career that's more a memory of life than a memento mori. [Mar 2019, p.89]

Feb 4, 2019If there’s any justice at all, the future ahead after the release of this deeply moving, often mesmerising, sparse yet still richly nuanced album will see Chapman conclude his much-overdue journey to wider renown from the shadows he’s operated in for far too long.

UncutFeb 4, 2019A glowering inferno. [Mar 2019, p.24]

MojoFeb 4, 2019True North feels both stoic and positive in outlook. [Mar 2019, p.91]

Feb 4, 2019Michael Chapman’s songs are gorgeous, dark-tone places, full of the work of musical collaboration, but also haunted and spare. Lovely stuff.

The WireMar 7, 2019These aren’t stoical songs; nor are they blandly defiant. They speak a deep truth about ageing, and one that spikes several more humdrum cliches: age isn’t just how you feel, but an ineluctable fact; it isn’t just a matter of numbers, but very much a felt experience, and Chapman has delivered a beautiful continuum of musical experience since he emerged in 1969 with Rainmaker and Fully Qualified Survivor. [Mar 2019, p.48]

Feb 4, 2019Chapman's singing is True North's major shortcoming. ... His music takes the more difficult path towards what is constant. He's bound to what really exists.
