long time caller, first time listener is the follow-up to rising London indie/alt country combo vegas water taxi’s cult favourite debut LP things are gonna be alright from 2023.

Combining their acclaimed long time caller EP with its follow-up first time listener, it showcases vwt leader Ben Hambro’s knack for deadly funny songwriting that doesn’t shy away from the all-too-real sadness at it’s core.

Perfectly bottling the cultural zeitgeist, VWT refracts the swaggering charm of Americana through a distinctly British prism; swapping US road trips, trucks and dive bar whiskey, for late-night Overground rides, Dalston creative director gossip and scampi fries in the Spurstowe Arms.

RIYL: Silver Jews, Wilco, Stephen Malkmus, MJ Lenderman, Courtney Barnett, Greg Freeman, Brown Horse, Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band
