Our Take

Ah, the Extra Longpigsin – a truly intriguing addition to the Longpigs discography. This album is a rollercoaster of eclectic sounds and quirky lyrics that will leave you scratching your head in both confusion and delight.

From the opening track, "Piggy Parade," it's clear that Longpigs are not afraid to take risks and experiment with their music. The combination of jangly guitars, off-kilter percussion, and lead singer Pete's distinctive vocals create a sonically rich tapestry that is both captivating and slightly unnerving.

Tracks like "Sausage Symphony" and "Bacon Blues" showcase Longpigs' playful approach to songwriting, with wry observations about life, love, and pork products woven throughout. The band's knack for catchy hooks and infectious melodies is on full display here, making it impossible to resist tapping your foot along to the beat.

However, the album does have its missteps. "Ham Hock Hoedown" feels disjointed and over-ambitious, lacking the cohesiveness that makes the rest of the album so compelling. And while "Pork Chop Lullaby" is undeniably haunting, its repetitive structure can start to grate after a few listens.

Overall, Longpigs' Extra Longpigsin is a bold and creative offering that showcases the band's unique blend of humour and musical talent. While it may not be to everyone's taste, those willing to dive in head first will be rewarded with a truly unforgettable listening experience.

About the artist

Longpigs

The Longpigs are a British alternative rock band hailing from Sheffield, known for their unique blend of melodic hooks and clever lyrics that have earned them a dedicated fan base over the years. Formed in the early 90s, the band quickly made a name for themselves with their debut album "The Sun Is Often Out" which featured hits like "She Said" and "On and On." With frontman Crispin Hunt's distinctive vocals leading the way, the Longpigs have continued to push boundaries with their music, incorporating influences from post-punk, Britpop, and alternative rock to create a sound that is truly their own. Their sophomore album "Mobile Home" further solidified their reputation as one of the most exciting bands to come out of the UK music scene in the 90s. Despite achieving critical acclaim and a loyal following, the Longpigs never quite reached the same level of commercial success as some of their Britpop peers. But their impact on the music industry can still be felt today, with bands citing them as a major influence and their songs continuing to be celebrated by fans old and new. Whether you're a die-hard Longpigs fan or a newcomer to their music, one thing is for sure - this band knows how to deliver a killer live performance. With their infectious energy and irresistible hooks, it's easy to see why the Longpigs have left a lasting impression on the British music scene. So grab your sunglasses, throw on your leather jacket, and get ready to rock out with the Longpigs - you won't be disappointed.
