Luxembourg Signal, The - The Long Now '2020

Tracks list

The Luxembourg Signal are a transatlantic group, based in London, Los Angeles
and San Diego. With the release of their self-titled debut album on Shelflife
Records in 2014, they quickly attracted a loyal following among fans of
DreamPop/IndiePop music, and received enthusiastic reviews for their pop
sensibilities, angelic vocals and lush soundscapes. Their follow-up LP, Blue
Field, garnered even more praise and revealed a bolder, darker and more
developed sound with its expanded seven-member line-up. For their third LP, the
band have once again returned to the studio with engineer Mark Rains and have
produced the highly anticipated The Long Now, a 10 song album that imagines a
blurred horizon that lies between light and dark, and the fleeting nature of all
that we hold. The Long Now (a phrase coined by Brian Eno) refers to a long-term
way of perceiving time. As an alternative to the accelerated way that we
experience our lives, it allows us to make sense of our brief but tumultuous
time here, by understanding our place in a much larger timeline as history plays
out. The LP echoes these concepts in tracks like the jangly and upbeat The
Morning After which evokes the optimism of sunrise at dawn while the dynamic and
gritty 2:22 conveys the paralysis of being confined in a digital world. Lost
Hearts and Mourning Moon reveal vague and simple lyrics that bring up memories
that are anything but vague and simple; from fundamental disagreements with a
mate over a history that cannot be rewritten, to the very moment of the loss of
a loved one. While the past two albums included guests such as Dale Crover
(Melvins) on drums, and Bobby Wratten (Trembling Blue Stars, Field Mice) on
vocals, David Klotz (Fonda, Dream System 8) returns to sing co-lead on the
spirited Cut the Bridle.
