"The Long Gone Tongue" – the title of B°TONG's latest album – refers to the different meanings of the word "language," for example, in terms of its definition, as an organ in our mouths, and as a code used to communicate between people. The music on the album was recorded over a year, then edited and mixed until it finally became the album in the form you can now hear. Chris Sigdell, moving away from computer-generated music, opted for analog sound sources; the three main tracks are based on layers of guitars and synthesizers, as well as sampled vocals. This makes the music on the latest album closer to post-rock than before. At the same time, the musician managed to retain the illustrative nature of his work, which we have become accustomed to from B°TONG's previous releases. "The Long Gone Tongue" is the third album to feature live instrument recordings, making it a natural continuation of the direction taken on "{Mass}" (a double CD album released by Zoharum in 2024).
"The Long Gone Tongue" is dedicated to the musician's father, who passed away in early 2026.
