Hailing
from the various youth centers and high school auditoriums
of Anchorage, Alaska,
Parker Longbough soared to the top of the
pop scene in 2006 with their debut album, Commander
Comatose.
The band's latest album, Snowcity/Wilderhood, channels
Matthew
Witthoeft's syrupy melodies with poppy synths to
fashion a bevy
of sugar-coated ditties. With standout tracks like
"Sophia Loren
Look-a-like," look for Parker Longbough to
be a major player in the
pop landscape for years to come. |
Pop
Matters - "Parker Longbough can churn
out lovely little indie pop/rock nuggets that
could have fallen off of The Replacements’ All
Shook Down, especially the opening title
track"
Three Imaginary Girls - "The
music is a soapy lo-fi that feels like tape demos we
used
to pass around of our friends bands in high school."
Absolute Punk - "Icy,
traditional folk music covered in a lo-fi haze that
keeps all the
Polar Bears away!"
NPR Song of The Day - " Parker Longbough
specializes in the sort of sparkling,
decidedly urban-sounding guitar-pop commonly found in
college towns. Throughout its
songs, keyboards bubble under layered guitar lines and
light, occasionally programmed beats."
