More love for Kurt von Stetten’s latest, Androlafi! The Noise calls it “Music that shouts to be heard.” Why thank you. And the lovely folks at Golden Mixtape say it’s “An indie delight.” All in a day’s work.
Love from across the pond sounds like this: “Almost taking us back to the very birth of modern guitar music. This is the complete antithesis of so called “manufactured pop”. Naturally it’ll sell a fraction of what that will, but we’d choose this any day.” That’s The Sound of Confusion on Androlafi, the new record by Kurt von Stetten. Right on.
“Masterfully blends traditional folk instruments and music with a modern style.” More very kind words on The Longwalls‘ Kowloon — this time from the new Red Line Roots blog!
For Kurt von Stetten’s new album, Androlafi, the word is in. And the word is good. Something Daily called the album, “Terrific, all over the place, and quite unlike anything else I’ve heard so far this year.” Visions of the Unexcused says, “Listening to von Stetten’s music is like ingesting a drug for the first time. As your psyche ascends towards the initial drop you release yourself for what’s to come.” Yowza! Get some!
A full-moon-sized thank you to everyone who trekked out in the cold Saturday for The Longwalls‘ Kowloon release show. Epic night. Much love. We won’t soon forget. Meanwhile, kind words on Kowloon continue to roll in. The Noise says the boys “live somewhere between a more rustic Velvet Underground and a less new-post-punk the National.” Aiding & Abetting says the “songs soar and crash with astonishing grace.” We say, thank you!
“The Longwalls have created a solid album that treats melancholy with a bit of twang, a pinch of grunge and a ton of heart.” That’s what the fine folks at mxdwn have to say about the new Longwalls record, Kowloon. It’s a thoughtful write-up, which we really appreciate. Check it out.
We never thought someone born in Kowloon would ever hear the new Longwalls record. Small world, and we’re glad the music found him. Thanks to the Ricky from the Panic Manual for his post and recollections.
“The Longwalls evoke wintry discontent and hope springing eternal within the walls of their latest album, Kowloon… a lovely novella of an album.” That’s how our friends at The Owl Mag describe Kowloon, the new album by The Longwalls (on sale now). They get it. They really get it. Thanks guys!
“At once unsettling, melancholic, and peaceful. Indeed, as the listener reaches the final track a feeling of tranquility has already been delivered.” That’s what Boston Music Vibe had to say about Kowloon, the new record from The Longwalls — on sale today!!
Big thanks to Twangville for these kind words on Kowloon, the new Longwalls record out 12/4. Over at Twangville they often say the Longwalls are deserving of much wider audience. We couldn’t agree more. Help the cause and tell a friend, would ya? Merci.
