Parker Longbough is the recording moniker of Matthew Witthoeft of Anchorage, Alaska. Witthoeft first gained notoriety in the local music scene as a member of the band Uncle Jesse. After Uncle Jesse’s demise, Witthoeft began to perform with various band members under the name Parker Longbough. In 2006, Commander Comatose, Parker Longbough’s first LP was released; Longbough’s mix of indie and electronic pop with lo-fi country was well received, with NPR saying, “Parker Longbough specializes in the sort of sparkling, decidedly urban-sounding guitar-pop commonly found in college towns. Throughout its songs, keyboards bubble under layered guitar lines and light, occasionally programmed beats.” - - Bridges to Nowhere/Delirium in Lo-fi catches Parker Longbough as he searches to better flesh out the sound and musical identity he first crafted on his debut album Commander Comatose. With 14 tracks and coming in at just over one hour, Bridges to Nowhere covers plenty of new musical territory for Longbough. Literary and cultural references and tropes range from Surrealist Japanese fiction (May Kasahara), to Southern Gothic (Same Time Every Year), and even daytime television (St. Jude). Familiar Longbough themes like love and family lost, awkward relationships, and the momentary highs and crushing, devastating lows of drug use and abuse are all present on this sophomore release.
