Longwave @ Maggie Mae's - SXSW 2008

Longwave are on tour in support of their fourth full-length album, Secrets Are Sinister, released back in mid-November on Original Signal Recordings.

The follow-up to 2005’s There’s A Fire (RCA), the new album was recorded predominantly by the band in their Brooklyn studio and with the help of producer Peter Katis (The National, Tokyo Police Club, Interpol) at his Connecticut studio. “Secrets Are Sinister expands on the band’s trademark sound: atmospheric, arena-sized guitars still build to an epic swell while the band’s penchant for dreamy landscapes now gives way to an equally dynamic but louder, noisier, and more driving sensibility.”

    My girlfriend really likes Longwave.  I had never heard them, but we went to their free show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg a couple months ago, and I was very impressed.  I don’t know why these guys aren’t huge.  They have the pop sensibility needed, while still writing lush, almost shoegazy tunes.  Recommended if you’re in Atlanta.
