UK release date: 13 February 2006
Humanzi - Long Time Coming

Off-kilter, oddball guitar riffery, fortified by a formidable rhythmic force that features a solid, monotone bassline. This is Humanzi's latest single.

Humanzi are Dublin's latest export, a four piece potentially set for big things in 2006. Long Time Coming mixes dark rock with art rock with the slightest hint of - whisper it - glam. The citation of Roxy Music as an important influence also resonates through this fizzy, spiky edged creation.

The work of vocalist Mulrooney is less appealing than on previous release, Fix The Cracks, but with the gothic disco choruses that rattle through Long Time Coming you can afford Humanzi a little leeway. They seem like a band with an agenda for domination, and more than a few tricks up their sleeve. Let's hope we see it on their forthcoming debut album.
