Longwave [LP]

Vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release. Arriving in the early months of 2017, Bonny Doon's self-titled debut was a warm introduction to the band for many. Hazy and bright, the album's woozy melodies and swirling webs of summery guitar textures were easily ingested as low-key slacker pop. But the nonchalant breeziness belied a serious attention to songcraft, and hinted at depths yet unexplored. Lo and behold, before the ink was even dry on the first record, work had already begun on it's follow-up Longwave, a conscious about-face from the sonic experimentation of the first album, and a journey inward.
