Their first single of 2026 sees them continuing to build on their nuanced indie rock style
One of our favourite rising bands in the UK music scene right now, Huddersfield’s LONG ISLAND are an outfit who have a great balance between the tender and heartfelt and the anthemic and impactful that makes for a wide range of engrossing and compelling indie rock tracks that continue to highlight their mountains of appeal.
Their new single ‘special place’ explores the familiar feeling of feeling overwhelmed by the pace that life seems to pass by and wishing for things to slow down a bit more and give you a chance to get your bearings and find your footing a little more. There is a really tender and thoughtful feel to the track throughout that grows in atmospheric fashion into something that feels more assured as it goes on, and it makes for the kind of rewarding listening experience and journey that encapsulates everything that makes LONG ISLAND great.
