What hits me about LONGINGS is the feeling that I'm listening to some kids bashing out a dark, post punk rehash, even while I know that I'm listening to some adults harvest from their own rev summer roots. And in the end it's both, which is what makes this short lived project resonate. "In Essence" is like Juju-era Siouxsie reimagined by harDCores...or Wayne Hussey fronting EMBRACE...and the songs are sharp, hard, powerful, even (especially) while guitar hooks like the one in "Trapped" grab you and sink into your skin. There are only four songs here (and only six more on the 12" that followed), but damn...they are just right.
