Vyvienne Long releases debut solo record

Fresh from helping Damien Rice assemble his new 9 album, Vyvienne Long opens her solo account with the EP.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 05 Oct 2006

Along with three originals – ‘They’re Not Waving’, ‘Blue Carousel’ and ‘Never Leave You’ – it features her very different takes on Pharrell Williams’ ‘He Wants To Move’ and Flaming Lips’ ‘Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Pt. 1’.

Long rounds off what’s shaping up to be a very good year with a December 28 visit to Dublin’s Temple Bar Music Centre, which will feature no fewer than three cello players.

Not content with being a key member of the Damien Rice band, Vyvienne Long has released an EP that finds her doing wondrous things to the Flaming Lips and Pharrell Williams.

2006-10-27

So far best known as Damien Rice’s cello player and the provider of quirky cover versions, Long could well be a star waiting to happen. Birdtalk is a good place to start. The EP’s lead track ‘They’re Not Waving’ tries to balance drama and pop and nearly succeeds, while ‘Never Leave You’ has a downbeat, almost rap feel. While the two cover versions included (Pharrell Williams’ ‘He Wants To Move’ and the Flaming Lips’ ‘Yoshimi’) are both great, you still feel that they’ll still end up overshadowing Long’s own material, which would be a shame.
