The Long Now was Children Collide's debut album, released through Universal in Australia on 11 October 2008, three years after the Melbourne band's first EP, We Three, Brave and True. Singer and guitarist Johnny Mackay and bassist Heath Crawley brought in Dave Sardy to produce, and he gives the trio's scrappy indie rock a big, blunt shine: guitars that buzz like blown speakers, drums shoved right up front, choruses that come at you shoulder first.
"Farewell Rocketship" was the song that broke through on the countdowns. The Special Collector's Edition came with a gimmick worth remembering, a circle on the sleeve you scratched off to find out which of three covers you had bought. Theory of Everything came next.
