Debut follow-up albums have a dreaded reputation for falling short of their predecessors. The Essex Green bucked the odds and delivered a masterwork release with The Long Goodbye in 2003. The band's core trio of Sasha Bell, Jeff Baron, and Chris Ziter were fresh out of the influential Elephant 6 stables with their stunning twin releases, a self-titled extended play and the classic full-length Everything Is Green. Compared to the psychedelic swirl and sunny disposition of Everything Is Green, The Long Goodbye was a mature and incredibly thoughtful endeavor that emphasized the core members' evolution in songwriting and arrangement. Remember when XTC jumped the Black Sea post-punk ship and delivered the eccentric and elegant English Settlement? The Long Goodbye embodies that massive leap by taking risks and sinking the debut album blueprint. Their second full-length has a more relaxed and assured vibe, akin to the feel of summer's end. There's a sense that the band is preparing for a new season. Each of the twelve tracks on The Long Goodbye is distinctive. They create a patchwork of influences that range from post-Sandy Denny Fairport Convention on "By the Sea" to the spirited and catchy bounce of "The Late Great Cassiopia." One almost hears a direct link between Flying Nun and K Records pop sensibilities. The hypnotic "Our Lady in Havana" summons the spirit of Judee Sill, and "Julia" rings like a Jimmy Webb / Emitt Rhodes collaboration at some roadside cafe. "Chartiers" would've been a hit on Scotland's Postcard Records, with it's stunning sound that either Lloyd Cole or Prefab Sprout longed to perfect. Take the essence of all these influences, wrap them up in sweetened Cowsill harmonies, add that passionate longing of Kevin Ayers and a dose of "Dandy"-era Kinks and you get close to what The Essex Green are capable of. The Long Goodbye is timeless work and warrants another introduction to the world.

I was delighted with the quality and color
Size: X-Small, Color: Lilac
This is a super cute, and frankly, fairly high fashion little hoodie. The price was great for what it is. Really nice soft (terry?) inside. Double fabric hood. Really soft. It has an oversized cut which makes it easy to get on and off, but is just the right length to make the sizing look great and intentional - it doesn't look too big. I love the color. It's high quality, and I didn't notice any shrinkage. Even the hood is cut in a chic way. Not your average kids' hoodie.
