Long Term Parking is an expansive musical project by three veteran musicians looking to broaden their horizons. Upon releasing their debut album ‘Luxury Luxury’ earlier this year, they share encapsulating lead single and video ‘King E.’ Interesting and sparking intrigue from the first listen, the band really outdo themselves on this spiralling alt indie masterpiece.
They are remnants of shoe gaze and synth led genres, and the vocals make for a captivating listen throughout by a band who certainly know how to digress their sound beyond the norm. The video is also a great watch, seeing a man’s disoriented travels which fits perfect alongside the record.
The band say that “King E.’ is the oldest song on the record, but ironically ended up being the closer. It took a lot of work to make everything sound casual. The song has a very specific structure that is remotely inspired by a baroque rondo. ‘King E’. is an example of what we’re trying to do, namely look for bridges and create collages. We try to connect things that are seemingly unrelated in the most natural way. The lyrics of the song describe the way your inner world expands into your real life.”
