The North Star is the debut album by Scottish singer-songwriter Roddy Frame, released in September 1998 by Independiente.

[1] Aztec Camera released their sixth studio album Frestonia in November 1995, marking the end of their contract with WEA.

It became the band's least commercially successful release; frontman Roddy Frame opted to go solo and signed with Go!

[2] The Guardian wrote that Frame has "painted an autumnal landscape of ballads and guitar rockers (if rockers is the right word for these scaled-down little bruschettas of songs) whose attention to detail could be mistaken for blandness.

"[4] All tracks are written by Roddy Frame[3]Technical The North Star spent a total of two weeks in the UK Albums Chart, peaking at number 55 on 3 October 1998.
