Skip to ContentNew Musicbig long sun Announce New Album love songs and spiritual recollections: Hear “call it a voice”By Margaret Farrell5:19 PM EST on February 26, 2026Share on FacebookShare on RedditShare on EmailShare on Bluesky4Commentsbig long sun are a Brighton-based eight-piece — Mina-Mae Alexander, Jamie Broughton, Ocean Goucher, Zofia Szymanowska, Oliver Parkes, Tom Gregory, Malte Henning, and Robert Smyth — that make "sonic bedroom art rock pop noises ... for dreaming." That last bit is real important to their loose-limbed folk oeuvre. Their latest single "call it a voice" drifts in a boisterous liminal space. It's spooky and sort of glorious, bringing to mind of Montreal, the Kinks, T. Rex, maybe even a little Donovan (in essence). There's some dark and psychedelic shit going on here. It's great.A follow-up to last fall's also very good single "my stars aligning," "call it a voice" announces the group's third full-length love songs and spiritual recollections, which is out April 22. The band's Jamie Broughton revealed more about the new single saying: “A dark, paranoid folk anthem for the spiritually insecure mind. The lyrics explore the different shades of madness that accompany solitude. Whereas ‘my stars aligning’ presents a joyful and ecstatic aspect of the big long vision, ‘call it voice’ is cold and insular. A calculated mania in B minor, with major notes of melancholy."Their press release also included their "manifesto" which speaks for itself:The big long sun manifestowe are big long sun and we play music for angry childrenwe are big long sun and we play music for the immaculate bitchwe are big long sun and we play music for mannequinswe are big long sun and we play music for people that work in kebab shopswe are big long sun and we play music for car parkswe are big long sun and we play music for broken loners and stonerswe are big long sun and we play music for moneywe are big long sun and we play music for question markswe are big long sun and we play music for prit stick nibblerswe are big long sun and we play music for obedient dogswe are big long sun and we play music for thoughtless contemplationwe are big long sun and we play music for laptop screenswe are big long sun and we play music for the village townhall mafiawe are big long sun and we play music for roadmen to cry towe are big long sun and we play music for the ones who loved youwe are big long sun and we play music for many many candleswe are big long sun and we play music for understanding grandmotherswe are big long sun and we play music for women with worrieswe are big long sun and we play music for doubting clownswe are big long sun and we play music for retired plumberswe are big long sun and we play music for snails without homeswe are big long sun and we play music for uswe are big long sun and we play music for devastated salesmenwe are big long sun and we play music for bees trapped indoorswe are big long sun and we play music for organic matterwe are big long sun and we play music for the lords and landlordswe are big long sun and we play music for sad sailorswe are big long sun and we play music for happy accidentswe are big long sun and we play music for bit coin gentlemanwe are big long sun and we play music for scientologistswe are big long sun and we play music for god sakewe are big long sun and we play music for Werner Herzogwe are big long sun and we play music for sweating cabbagesListen to "call it a voice" below.TRACKLIST:01 “such a lovley day“02 “i left a note“03 “heavy (on your mind)“04 “look away (and its over)“05 “a way out“06 “my stars aligning“07 “if you get excited“08 “sad happy song“09 “call it a voice“10 “another situation with you“
