THE NORTHERN TERRITORIES present a new video single for their Lana Del Rey cover track ‘Say Yes to Heaven’, which appears on the acclaimed fourth full-length (‘Album of the Month’ in renowned German Orkus! magazine) of the Swedish melancholic synth duo, that is also being released and starts streaming in full today, on May 23, 2025.
THE NORTHERN TERRITORIES comment: “The video to our cover of Lana Del Rey’s ‘Say Yes to Heaven’ consists out of footage that we have lifted from our first ever video clip ‘Midnight Ambulance’, which we shot in Stockholm during the summer of 1994”, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist John Alexander Ericson explains on behalf of the duo. "We have not released an album in 25 long years and therefore it made sense to us to include these images as a nod to our past and as a reminder to ourselves and to others about how it all started.”

After a record breaking hiatus of 25 years, THE NORTHERN TERRITORIES are back for good. The Swedish melancholic synth duo has used the time well to hone their musical prowess and to think hard about how they wanted their unique sound to come across in the present.
As a result of this intense thought process, the stunning album A Star in Orbit Still combines everything that made the band great and generated a dedicated and loyal following that eagerly awaited their return during all those years with a contemporary sound design. Channeling their trademark melancholy and Nordic knack for captivating melodies, THE NORTHERN TERRITORIES did not even shy away from covering LANA DEL REY’s iconic track ‘Say Yes to Heaven’ and to make it theirs.
