Gothenburg power trio LÅNGFINGER is pleased to unveil latest
video, "Say Jupiter." The tune comes by way of their Crossyears
full-length, released last year via Small Stone.
Directed, produced, and edited in a restaurant kitchen by
Anders Bryngel, the clip is currently playing at The Obelisk who issues,
"I don't know who in LÅNGFINGER's world owns a restaurant and decided to
give the three-piece access to the kitchen for the purposes of the Anders
Bryngel-directed clip, but the results are pretty hilarious. As anyone who's
ever made one can tell you, a good meal is as much about preparation as it is
about the taste of the outcome, and whether they're in the kitchen rocking out
or in the front of the house getting the royal treatment from the waitstaff - also
played by them - bassist/vocalist Victor Crusner, guitarist/backing vocalist
Kalle Lilja and drummer/backing vocalist Jesper Pihl seem to be having a great
time putting it altogether. Whatever dinner turns out to be, it's apparently a
pretty transcendent experience. Must've had a lot of garlic. God damn, I love
garlic."

Confessor" video.
The ten-track Crossyears full-length was recorded by Johan
Reivén and Olle Björck at Sweden's
Welfare Sounds Studio with additional recordings by LÅNGFINGER at Beduin HQ,
mixed by Olle Björck, and mastered by Daniel Johansson. Wrote Sea Of
Tranquility in a 4/5 review, "If you love albums like Mountain's
Climbing!, any of Led Zeppelin, Humble Pie, and Grand Funk Railroad's first
few, and even The Who's Who's Next, you'll find plenty to sink your teeth into
here on Crossyears. Add LÅNGFINGER to the already healthy list of outstanding
Swedish retro rockers who are keeping the sounds of the '70s alive."

A truly kick ass power trio is quite possibly the perfect
rock formation. If there aren't that many trios around, that's because it's a
hard thing to pull off: with just three people having to nail the rhythmic
fusion of bass and drums, the wild colors of guitar, and the soul-grabbing
focus of the human voice, there can be no passengers aboard. Extraordinary
chemistry is essential. Everyone has to be right on it, and locked in. Which is
why lots of trios fail, or cop out, and recruit extras.
The members of LÅNGFINGER, hailing from the fertile rock 'n'
roll city of Gothenburg,
are masters of the art. They've been playing together since they were in their
early teens, and their imminent third album is both the thrilling culmination
of their collective endeavor, and a rumination on it - on how time has shaped
them and brought them to this point. Within its hard-hitting grooves, the
interlocking of LÅNGFINGER's three disparate characters - Kalle Lilja, the
unflappable, precision axeman; Jesper Pihl, the athletic sticksman battering
out physical revenge on his kit; and Victor Crusner, the intense, exploratory
spirit, bridging thundering bass and howling exorcism - is a magical
proposition.
