They aren't so much about being the next big thing for Oz, but if they keep up the effort, who knows... these guys might just be it. The Long Now, what ever it means, is mostly a collection of post-grunge alt. rock escapism tracks that detail the positives of living away from Earth's slummage; not necessarily a concept, but more of a subtle theme for the wheels to follow. Vocalist/guitarist, Johnny Mackay, covers his inabilities to sing by repeating phrases and slurring like a drunk, doing so in a way that is fitting to the group's rhythm heavy sound. And whilst there's enough material on here to initially make it worth your while (see: Farewell Rocketship/Seasons Changing/Brave Robot), it may not be as pretty after the third or fourth spin for some; by then they've already found something else better.
