Armed with a trio of thoughtful, immersive and memorable initial indie pop releases, Huddersfield’s LONG ISLAND quickly found themselves as one of our favourite new bands on 2022, continuing to surprise and beguile us with their three releases across the stretch of the year.
‘blissful satisfaction’, ‘broken’, and ‘average’ have already seen us ride around a range of emotions and moods with the outfit, ranging from the heartbroken, to the pensive, to the euphoric, immediately setting themselves aside as a band who’s indie pop sound feels without boundaries or confines. January 2023 is about to see another exciting milestone for the outfit, with the release of their debut LP infatuation’s a nightmare just days away. The release is sure to give us even more memorable moments, ranging from the poetic, to the anthemic, to the explosive. We had a chat with LONG ISLAND to find out some more about their journey so far and what we should expect from the outfit going forward.
WHO ARE LONG ISLAND?
LONG ISLAND are Rhiannon Stephenson (lead vocals), Cameron Conner (backing vocals, guitar, production), Paddy Spence-Lewis (bass) and Jan van Beem (drums). LONG ISLAND is also a cocktail that we all enjoy and where the name came from after one too many!
