7. Come On Live Long – ‘Trough’
The Dublin-based band return with a slow-burning cut from album #2.
Come On Live Long’s first album Everything Fall is one of my favourite Irish albums of the last few years, a debut which not only had great songs already embedded in it but also suggested that the band, were a close-knit of people who had the potential to do greater things.
‘Trough’, the band’s new song from a forthcoming second record, suggests that too, its ambient intro having grown out of an album interlude which finds the vocalists Louise and Robert finding a comfortable place in the sonics to lift it from its humble beginnings. A sound that seductive doesn’t need to rise too much, and the band keep it atmospheric until the end.
