Ambient/deep-house producer Will Long has announced the sequel to his critically acclaimed Long Trax LP. Due out March 16th through Smalltown Supersound, Long Trax 2 is described as “an ongoing criticism of cultural stasis, conveyed via minimal synthesizers, sampler, and rhythm machine.” Case in point: the opening track “Nothing’s Changed,” which melds lush not-quite-dance loops with the inherent wisdom of a young Barack Obama.
Considering how last night’s State of the Union went, we can’t think of a better way to wind the week down. Have a listen below, and check out an extensive feature on Long’s favorite records—from Muslimgauze to Grace Jones—here….
