Album Notes & Community Reviews

An undersung gem of 90s Scottish post-rock, 'Houdini' is an incredibly rhythmic, highly hypnotic exploration of experimental indie rock. Long Fin Killie intertwines complex, math-rock-inflected rhythms with Luke Sutherland's passionate, explicitly LGBTQ-themed narratives, crafting a lush and distinctly romantic atmosphere.
