'Throughout, it's obvious Long has a solid hold of his material and a focus to match, realising each song with such an eye for detail the whole thing just shimmers in your ears, the way it does in all the classic pop albums from Revolver on.' 'His arrangements have an almost transcendental aura about them. Breezy choruses, fuzzy guitars and reverb-assisted psychedelic swirls recall a '60's vibe (with) a touch of modern, edgy indieness.'

Midday Sun delves into themes of love, lust and betrayal, barren wastelands and the fever of an Australian summer. The song Melody's Fate took out the alternative music award at the 2007 Blue Mountains Music Awards.
