Well ain’t this a hum-dinger! Alan opens up with “Sargasso in Space” off The Longwalls‘ classic 2012 EP, Careers in Science; follows it up with a tease from the band’s forthcoming 6th release with (soon-to-be-blistering) “Red Shirts;” slows things down with “Rukia” from 2015’s Gold Standard; and then closes things out going way back to 2010’s “Playwrights” off the Dark Academy EP. Good on ya, Alan!!
One of the East Coast’s best sounds / Sneaky Good! – Alan and the band play dark pop songs influenced by cultural tides, historical figures and social ephemera and this set was no different. The Longwalls last two full-length albums, The Gold Standard and Kowloon are two sides of the same study of coins – demonstrating just how good they really are. This January, The Longwalls dropped a live album you need to hear (here!)
Kurt von Stetten’sL.A.R.P (from 2011’s Cyclops), as well as Sargasso in Space and Where Things Go to Fade by The Longwalls (from 2011’s Careers in Science) are all being featured this month on a certain MTV reality show… that will remain nameless. More info here.
The fine folks over at Culture Bomb have some very nice things to say about The Longwalls’ Careers in Science Album! Lines like “clash-like rhythms mixed with an Elvis Costello, jangling guitar” make us positively giddy. And we like gumbo. And, we like that we left them wanting more…
