  • Bio

    ..LONG WALK HOME biography.. .. After nearly 2 years of living and creating in Berlin, Germany, LWH are excited to announce that they are now putting the finishing touches on their new album 'shadows of the flâneur'. .. Written in a combination of crumbling warehouses and coal heated bedrooms throughout the freezing Berlin Winter 'shadows of the flâneur' has a much more refined and subtle sound than previous releases, reflecting the combined experieces of their time in Berlin so far. .. After releasing a critically acclaimed debut album and selling out many shows, Long Walk Home left their home country of Australia to find a new home in artistically renowned Berlin, Germany. Long Walk Home's debut album Youism was released in Germany through Danse Macabre Records/Al!ve Distribution on May 23rd 2008. In December 2008, LWH started the recording of their follow up album 'shadows of the flâneur' with Polish producer Artur Mazurek. The band have taken a more subtle, lo-fi approach with this record, which will be available in the first half of 2009. Songs from the new album were written through various stages of Long Walk Home's Berlin existence. .. After arriving in Berlin in May 2007, Long Walk Home have made a huge impact on the German music scene. Audiences are quickly growing and German radio stations are on board, with Fritz FM, R1 Live and Dunklewelle.de regularly playing LWH. In their 6 year career, Long Walk Home have already supported such acts as Team Sleep (US), In The Nursery (UK) Apoptygma Berzerk (NOR) and 10 Years (US) along with playing several renowned music festivals. Their live shows are world class, and the reviewers agree. .. Few bands rival the emotional intensity and sensibility of Long Walk Home’s stage show. Androgynous vocalist Charlie Inprocess captivates with his haunting counter tenor vocals. This is coupled with beautifully anxious violin/mandolin melodies of Jake Bovil and the clever rhythmic ideas of Aidan McLaren on drums and Michael Robb on bass. .. Long Walk Home’s haunting music deals with themes such as love, loss, domestic violence, gender, identity and what’s on the other side. The themes are dark, but an overall feeling of hope pushes through to befit the sometimes melancholic moods of Long Walk Home. .. ..reviews.... “I could not have dreamt that they could inspire me so excessively…. After this convincing performance, it would not surprise me, if they would mix-up the overcrowded German music market very quickly” – Live review, Grit/Dark Obsession online. .. "A fiercly original composition that seamlessly blends suspense, subliminal hooks, and sheer power... it truly takes you on a journey of the soul. This is complexity at its most brilliant. Put simply, this is amazing" - Beat Magazine (Australia), Youism album review Dramatic, intriguing, compelling and divisive, Long Walk Home’s incessant sounds transcend genre, but not reaction. Long Walk Home’s intelligent musical ideas have been attracting due attention from the German music industry. Big things are set to happen for Long Walk Home in Europe… .. "This night, I may have witnessed a band very much on the brink of something big... it's not often I'll walk away from a show totally blown away by what I've witnessed. This was one of those rare moments." Mark Rasmussen, Buzz Magazine (Australia) .. “Long Walk Home should be checked out by fans of Muse, Sigur Ròs and A Perfect Circle. I hope that they will soon find a record label to re-release this masterpiece...." – Album review, Blach, Zillo Magazine (Germany) .... ......

    ......youism review........ ..ZILLO Magazine - GERMANY.. .. "Es ist schon äußerst mutig, den Schritt von Australien nach Berlin zu wagen, um am überfüllten deutschen Markt sein Glück zu versuchen. Und wenn das Unterfangen der vier Idealisten mit dem bezeichnenden Namen scheitern sollte, liegt es definitiv nicht an der Musik, denn selbige weiß in ihrer fragilen, melancholischen Art irgendwo zwischen Indie-Rock, Prog und Pop auf Anhieb zu überzeugen. Speziell der androgyne Gesang sowie das Geigen- und Mandolinenspiel bilden gelungene Kontrastpunkte zu den alternativ-rockigen Riffs und dürften Long Walk Home u. a. für Freunde von Muse, Sigur Ròs oder A Perfect Circle interessant machen. Da kann man nur hoffen, dass bald ein Label Gefallen an "Youism" findet und dieses Kleinod mit der - zugegeben recht unansprechenden - Aufmachung bald noch einmal neu veröffentlicht". - Blach Zillo Magazine (Germany) .. .. ..ENGLISH (translation).. .. "It is pretty brave to move from Australia to Berlin trying to be successful in the busy (overfilled?) music industry in Germany. If it turns out to be a bad decision, it definitely won't be because of the music of those four idealistic people with the perfectly fitting name. The music convinces the listener straight away with its fragile, melancholic manner somewhere between Indie Rock, Prog and Pop. Especially the androgyn vocals as well as the violin and mandolin play are a well done contrast to the Alternative Rock riffs. Therefore Long Walk Home should be checked out by fans of Muse, Sigur Ròs and A Perfect Circle. I hope that they will soon find a record label that likes "Youism" and is willing to re-release this masterpiece...." - Blach Zillo Magazine (Germany) ..
