Long Play is the first solo album of Trevor Burton, co-founder of iconic British psychedelic sixties band The Move. It is like nothing he has ever done before.
Long Play features 11 tracks, including 2 songs penned by Trevor as well as interpretations of 9 modern classics, and classics yet to be discovered: tunes from contemporary songwriters like Vic Chesnutt, John Vanderslice, Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel, John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats and more.
Each performance is acoustic, raw and naked, a stark departure from Trevor's legendary electric blues and heavy rock style, but as natural and honest as a set of performances can be. The album is carefully curated and arranged by Trevor to reflect the world he sees today. Stripped down to its bare essence, Long Play is a painfully honest and naked album that transcends generational divides. It is an album about today.
Long Play will be released in both the UK and US on 21 April as a limited-edition of 1,000 blood-red 180-gram vinyl records, and a small run of cassettes. While supplies last, each vinyl album comes with a limited-edition bonus CD, including three songs Trevor plays with a full electric band; fiery renditions of tunes from Phish, The White Stripes and The Weakerthans, reminding us Trevor is still, in every way, a Brummie rocker.
