Don’t Reach Out
January has been a pretty hectic month ’round these parts, with so many non-Soft Signal related activities eating away at the time I normally set aside to do things like work through my inbox and sort through the actual mail piling up on my counter. I spent a lot of the weekend playing catch up on these things, and happened upon one gem in particular that I wanted to be sure to share sooner rather than later.
They go by the name Long Weekends, three gentlemen based out of Halifax who, after a string of digital releases, are moving into the physical with a new 7″ for single “Don’t Reach Out.” It’s a gloomy lo-fi rocker that reconciles pieces of 1960s garage rock with 1980s new wave into one decades-spanning work that might almost pass for being written at any point in the last 50-odd years, if it weren’t for some bouncing, warbling vocal work that keep things rooted in the modern.
Long Weekend’s venture into vinyl will be available through Noyes Records sometime soon.
