By the end of it, you’ll want to hit the repeat button.

The high octane intro quickly splits off into a wavy bass groove backed by the smooth plucks of an echoing guitar like a drop on a rollercoaster. With this new mellow direction, this tracks percussion takes on a fairly calculated angle with precise hits of the bass drum and cymbal taps giving it an extra splash of personality. The instrumental is almost sinister with how smooth it is while avoiding a straight-up dark tone. It instead takes on a dynamically trippy aesthetic which perfectly compliments the equally wavy vocals. It all comes together to create a beat that you can’t help but to move with. Lines such as “Feels like yesterday, where we were I can’t say, seems like a fantasy, I never wanna leave that day” are powerful and delivered with a dynamic aesthetic that does nothing but compliment the experience. The track is dynamic as it goes on, moving from trippy to funky at times which never fails to take you by surprise. These musical twists and turns give the track a fantastic aesthetic that sets it apart from much of the rest of the scene today, making it a breath of fresh air in a time where Metal is riding high in the rock world.

A Long Time Ago is a track that will take you back to the days of psychedelic rock. It is an inspired and dynamic track with a personality all its own and a beat that will make you move. The vocals of Captain Dane-O are full of twists and turns and he warps the music around him as he sings, taking you on a wild ride of a listen. The track is a great experience and a true throwback to a bygone era of rock. Make room on your playlist for this stand-out track, as any fan of rock will appreciate what this track has to offer.
