Maximilian has been a steady force in Brighton’s scene since 2021, cultivating a fanbase that proudly sing along with their favourite songs. Blending raw 90s alt textures with introspective, minimalist songwriting, his sound sits somewhere between Elliott Smith and Big Thief.

Produced by Bobby Smyth and mixed by Yuri Shibuichi (Honeyglaze, Tapir!, Mary in the Junkyard), ‘Long Time Gone’ features a weaving narrative structure that gracefully rises and builds into waves of emotive melodies.

On ‘Long Time Gone’ Maximilian says:

“This song is quite experimental for me. It’s long and strange structure differs a lot from most songs I’ve written previously. Using synths and a harmonica for the first time was really fun and feels very new. I’m really proud to say I played every instrument on this recording. It’s something I used to try and do, but would always wind up banging my head against the wall in frustration, and I found recording with friends more fun than that, so I stopped. So now, this is my little magnum opus. I’ve had the song for a while, it’s very symbolic to a pivotal time in my life, and it’s really turned out well. I can’t wait to share it.”

Lyrics:

Sat beneath the dying sun
in a lonesome world.
Here she comes and there she goes
now I’m all alone.
And It’s a shame that I went there at all.
I don’t know what you’re hanging around for.

Somewhere, somehow
for such a long time
I was out of my mind.
Love me, leave me
It’s so contrived
and it was all one time.
There in the long run
wading through the long easy nights

I don’t know what you’re hanging around for,
disappearing in the dead of the night.
Some things change just like the weather does.

Wearys not the word i’d use anymore
No
Wearys not the word i’d use anymore
No
Wearys not the word i’d use anymore
No
Wearys not the word i’d use anymore
No

Tell me you’ll wait for me when I get back to where I belong.

Such a long time gone,
a long time.
Such a long time gone,
a long time.
Such a long time gone,
a long time.
Such a long time gone,
a long time.
Such a long time gone,
a long time.
Such a long time gone,
a long time.
Such a long time gone.
