“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.
Early reviews are in, and The Longwalls‘ latest effort Kowloon seems to be hitting a chord. Our Music Savage writes, “Sonically, it is a sharp sound that sounds like a great direction for the band.” And the fine folks over at Mojophenia write, “The Longwalls capture the sound of a dusty repetitious highway and the lonely poetic spirit of adventure.” Kind words indeed. Thanks friends! Kowloon is on sale 12/4.
It’s a bit of a tradition around these parts– CD release shows at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge. We love that venue, we couldn’t be happier The Longwalls are releasing Kowloon there Saturday 26 January, and we love that Glenn Yoder is on board with his CD release that night as well. Gonna be epic. Mark your calendars.

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…
