[engl] Longings explore the dark passages of post-punk with an intricate and melodic edge. Both bleak and levitative, their self-titled debut aggressively conquers themes of frustration & isolation. The Western Massachusetts trio, comprised of my good buddies from Ampere Meghan Minior and Will Killingsworth, as well as CaliforniaX’s Cole Lanier, have grown and intensified their sound dramatically since the release of their 2013 demo tape, and it truly shows on these recordings. Over the course of eight songs, the band crafts an acute and urgent album by way of dynamic guitar work, compelling vocals, and spirited delivery. 300 LPs pressed on solid yellow vinyl, including a giant insert with lyrics !
