About This Release
Dan London, bassist for Boston-based band The Longwalls, is back with his sophomore solo album I Will Take You Back.
With songs written during a time and place spanning from Nashville, TN twenty years ago, to Jamaica Plain in the last two years, the album reflects that sense of growth and time. Reminiscent of Elvis Costello and Neil Young, it's old school indie with a hint of alt-country; music meant for vinyl and a turntable, or for driving through small towns on back country roads.
The lead single anchors the album, and is semi-autobiographical, according to London.
"The title has that double entendre that worked: the singer of the record, a hyper-real version of me in some far off meta-verse, is looking for what went right and what went wrong in his romantic endeavors, when a smoky Pan with a penchant for pop culture comes along and says I'll be your huckleberry."
Let that Pan lead you on a introspective musical journey as well.
