Will Long arrives on Smalltown Supersound with two sides of post-house philosophy — music that sits in the familiar territory of deep house while quietly dismantling what we expect from it. Where aggressive chords and soulful singing would normally anchor the genre, Long offers contemplative chords and melancholic statements instead, an approach that causes you to rethink how you listen and, by extension, how you live.
Nothing's Changed occupies the A-side with the kind of unhurried, inward-facing house that never quite resolves itself into the euphoria the genre typically promises — the emotional register more reflective than celebratory, the beauty arriving slowly and staying quietly. You Know? carries the flip in the same spirit, the question mark in the title doing a lot of work. Two tracks from a producer who understands that the most interesting house music is the kind that asks something of the listener rather than simply delivering what they came for.
A. Nothing's Changed
B. You Know?
