Longings just premiered the second single from their upcoming debut self-titled LP. The record will be released on September 18 by Framework in the US and Echo Canyon in the EU. The band consists of local Western MA heroes Will Killingsworth, Meghan Minior, and Cole Lanier. If you haven't heard Longings before, they play really awesome post-punk with that great dark-wave vibe. Think a more punk Night Sins. The two songs that are available for streaming have a great urgency to them and I'm really hoping this is going to be a theme for the record.
"Tarnished" is a perfect example of the urgency I mentioned above. It has this great quick riff throughout the song and everything is just bursting through. This song is fast, punk, and drenched in a fantastic mixture of darkness and pop. It's raining out and you're driving too fast and maybe you're going to spin out on those cobblestone roads.
"Vacancy" premiered yesterday on Noisey. This song is darker and more haunting in its delivery. Meghan's vocals stand out and it is primarily her that is singing. This has that great dark-wave vibe to it. It's really bass driven and that bass lick is so nice. The guitar creates this undertone of noise and is haunting and reminds me a bit of older Interpol. That good stuff. I'm really digging this a lot.
The record drops September 18.
