king charles e.p.

Songs about mutual obsessions, ersatz entitlement, and the great equalizer.

The Long Afternoon commemorates a change in figureheads that heralded a new dark age. The sounds may soothe the wounds but the damage inflicted by an overeducated, emotionally stunted man-child can’t be so easily reversed. In the wake of the golden goose’s emergency surgery the eggs come out streaked with tin, and so they always will. A precursor to the fifth album by The Long Afternoon, released by Problematic Audio recordings.

For this document, The Long Afternoon comprised:

Eston Martz: guitars, keyboards, vocals
Jeff Edmunds: bass, vocals
Greg Elliott: drums, vocals
Jean-Pierre Mulley: guitars, vocals

Recorded primarily at Problematic Audio and 5 Spruces. Mixed and mastered by J.-P. Mulley at the Hobbit House, April 2023.

All songs by Eston Martz.
