Long Distance Calling - The Flood Inside (2013)

By iurgi -

Long Distance Callling impressed me with their first two albums but I somehow managed to miss their third (my fault). The Flood Inside is their fourth effort and it's simply brilliant.

From the opening track Nucleus, the album flows effortlessly between dreamy calm passages, simmering rage and explosions of furious guitars that sit somewhere in the border of rock and metal. 

Featuring more vocals than ever but still being predominantly instrumental and true to themselves. The Flood Inside also includes some bluesy solos, particularly in opener Nucleus (see the video below) and enough variety between songs to hold up interest. 

 A great album from start to end that feels like it tells one story.

Rating: Heavy Rotation

I dare say that this will surely have to be one of the best albums this year. An outstanding effort from start to end. The band release Wherever You Are as the single (see the video

  I’ve been eagerly waiting for this album since last years excellent EP Limited Behaviour and Neuroticfish have not disappointed me. A Sign of Life is an excellent album of very danceable future-pop, an absolute must for fans of future-pop and electronic music. You can listen to the album and support the band on their BandCamp page   here
