Longwave are set to release their fourth full-length album, ‘Secrets Are Sinister’, November 11, 2008 on Original Signal Recordings.

The follow-up to 2005’s ‘There’s A Fire’ (RCA), the new album was recorded predominantly by the band in their Brooklyn studio and with the help of producer Peter Katis (The National, Tokyo Police Club, Interpol) at his Connecticut studio.

‘Secrets Are Sinister’ expands on the band’s trademark sound: atmospheric, arena-sized guitars still build to an epic swell while the band’s penchant for dreamy landscapes now gives way to an equally dynamic but louder, noisier, and more driving sensibility.

Hailed in the past by magazines ranging from Rolling Stone to Nylon to Alternative Press, Longwave returns with their most varied and accomplished work to date, from the shimmering “Sirens In The Deep Sea” to the thundering, Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, MGMT, Sleater-Kinney)-produced “Life Is Wrong” to the hopeful title track.

Longwave just headlined a free show in their hometown of Brooklyn, NY on August 15th at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. Presented by the blog coalition After The Jump, the show was the official after party for the Albert Hammond, Jr. and Regina Spektor concert at McCarren Park Pool.
