The Never Years: Life of Dreams (2011)

"Jamie Long is the wizard behind the minimal tropicalia and druid moans that run wild on the Album; note the especially stoic “Honey Island” for which there is a video below. The EP is full and plentiful in sound, ranging from ambient jives to 80s new wave ballads." - Weekly Tape Deck "Dropping in electronic elements and a fuzzy guitar, The Never Years comes across, at least somewhat, like an early Radio Dept. However, the vocals are deeper and have a sadness unaccounted for in that other group. And it’s much more electro-pop oriented, which gives this band it’s unique side. Given these sounds, one would expect Jamie Long to hail from some exotic and stylish land – Sweden perhaps, or New York, or maybe even Denmark. No, Long comes from Houston. Well played, Texas."
