Longpigs 'The Sun Is Often Out' is tonight's vibe. One of the most underrated albums ever, they really should get back together.

Blue skies & coffee… while working through line edits on what is my attempt at a ghost story… Can’t say much about it at the moment, but it is set in my home city…

Arriving at the arse-end of Br*tp*p #Longpigs debut was about 18 months behind the (inferior) pack. I've said it before, but that 'A' side is up there with the best ever, it's just bang, bang,bang,bang. The B is no slouch either.

A few years back, I picked up a signed copy of my one of my favorite records. #longpigs #thesunisoftenout. Today I finally got a stereo to play it on! What an incredible album.

You'd be hard pushed to find a better A side in Britpop than the #Longpigs' debut. The B isn't bad, but that cluster of singles that open this LP are massively underrated. Still irresistible today, thanks in no small part to the guitar of one Richard Hawley.

Longpigs - The Sun Is Often Out.
In all fairness, Longpigs pissed all over Britpop, didn’t they?

“The Sun is Often Out” by Longpigs (1996)
#MWE - Day #15
A blend of raw energy, haunting emotion, and poetic lyricism. Crispin Hunt’s soaring vocals and Richard Hawley’s intricate guitar work shine on tracks like “She Said” & the tender “On and On.” If you like Radiohead, Oasis, and Blur you will likely find a lot to like here. #Longpigs
