MP3: The Longcut: "Transition (live)"

This exclusive new track from British three-piece the Longcut was recently recorded by Giles Hatton of the Earlies at Manchester's Airtight studios. It's an explosive live version of "Transition" from the band's debut album, A Call and Response, out now on Deltasonic in the UK.

According to the label, the session emerged from the band's desire to capture their sound in "some rawer, live versions of the tracks" and also because "Giles had a couple of spare days and thought it'd be fun." The result was a one-day live session that included all but two or three of the tracks that the band has ever recorded. The band is considering releasing the tracks as an online EP this summer, but they have yet to solidify these plans.

The Longcut's latest single, "Vitamin C", came out last week, backed by a Four Tet remix. Their next single, "Tried & Tested Method" is due out in September along with a Go! Team remix.

The Longcut are currently touring in the UK and will make a stop at Belgium's Recyclart Festival in August.
