Biography
The Long Faces first developed a love for writing music in Canterbury, soaking up the city’s heritage of progressive rock, along with contemporary jazz and choral music. They released a string of singles between 2017-18 whilst studying in the city, which over time have attracted a large online following that reaches from the UK to all corners of the world.
After the release of their debut EP in 2020, the group’s direction took a key turn, with Harry Shapiro joining as a new member on bass, and Halden Cooke trading lead guitar for violin. These changes in setup gave rise to a darker, more cinematic sound, and a focus on developing refined instrumental arrangements with minimal use of production effects. Their upcoming single ‘Eisenhower’, releasing on the 14th April 2023, is the opening statement of this new direction.
