History

The band was formed in Athens, Georgia in 1998. Founding members include Howard Hudson, Clay Jordan, and Lucas Jensen. Their first full-length record (which was titled "Longplay 1" when originally pressed on compact-disc, but was later renamed with an eponymous title) was released on WARM Recordings in 2002, and was produced by Andy LeMaster (member of Now It's Overhead).

After a national tour, and nearly universal acclaim for their debut record (including praise from Rolling Stone Magazine, who called the album a "masterpiece"), the initial formation of the band dissolved. Jordan relocated to Portland and enlisted the help of Mike Erwin (formerly of 7 Years in Space), Kevin Davis (of Glowworm), Jesse Robert W. (also of Glowworm), and Matt Kline. Shortly after the Portland lineup was solidified, WARM released a 4-song EP featuring three unreleased tracks and an Eluvium remix of "L.A.P.D. vs N.Y.P.D".

In February 2008, the band released their second full-length LP, titled "Longplay 2". The record features vocals by Carolyn Berk (of Lovers) and the artwork of Chris A'lurede. It was recorded by Adam Selzer (of Norfolk & Western) and Jason Powers at Type Foundry Studios in Portland. It was mixed by Jeff Stuart Saltzman and mastered by Roger Seibel.
