Drew Allegre traveled for a few days with Chris Darby and Longsleeves around Illinois and Wisconsin and kept a photo journal of their travels and their shows. You can see a lot of great shots of the performances and the time spent in between at his gallery on Fahrenheit128.

A New Band A Day
Longsleeves; Collect-this, Collect-that, Collect to Win!
Today, June 21st, Longsleeves is the featured band on A New Band A Day, a great UK based music blog that, true to its name, features a new band or artist every day. Not only did they mention Longsleeves, they also talk a little bit about the power of collectives in modern music and art. It’s a very gracious article, here’s what they had to say about Elderberry:
By dragging together such desperate sounds – glossy, pearly synth noises, hissing, compressed snares, the sound of a 1980′s home computer loading from a tape, Longsleeves are not only light years ahead of the majority but also the best and most persuasive argument for the collective system yet. Great. (continue reading…)
Remember Elderberry is completely FREE to download and you can get it here.
Two hundred years ago, people would make instruments using whatever they had available to them. These were working-class people, using the tools around them to make music. We’re doing that in a modern sense.
Elder is a sign of evolutionary change, a transition from one state to another. Old things are passing away and new things will take their place. It is a time of letting go of what holds you back. It is important to come to terms with change during this cycle. Everything changes and transforms. All life is beginnings and endings, birth, death, and rebirth.
