East London country slackers vegas water taxi return with new full length LP, long time caller, first time listener, out now on vinyl, cd and digitally, which fuses new EP first time listener with last year's long time caller EP into a cohesive set. Where long time caller focused on the romantic fallout of breakups and social dislocation, first time listener sees frontman Ben Hambro widen his scope. Sharply pointed pen in hand, he digs deeper to explore what it even means to crave love and authenticity in a world obsessed with image and pop individualism.
