RECKONWRONG – How Long Has It Been? – LP – Vinyl

LP – Standard Edition Black Vinyl. Reckonwrong returns to launch New Year with his debut album, an intimate and exploratory collection of ballads and keyboard miniatures exploring themes of transformation, friendship and love.

Reckonwrong returns in April 2026 with How long has it been?, a long-in-the-making debut album of expansive low-lit ballads and keyboard vignettes that draws equally on classic songwriting touchstones and contemporary experimental landscapes.

The London-based producer and songwriter is best known for his run of releases on AD93, which joined dots between skewed club constructions, new-wave pop drama, and intimate atmospheric worlds. Recent years have been spent out of view, gradually giving shape to a set of songs exploring themes of transformation, friendship, love and the search for self-knowledge.

A couple of days at Press Play studio in Bermondsey marked a turning point, and the record is tied together sonically by Rhodes electric piano and Reckonwrongs distinctive vocals, performed in the studio to a small group of friends. These takes laid the foundation for a DIY-spirited production world of plastic backing-bands, galaxy-brained noodling, Arthurian echo, and yearning Balearic chug, all cut with equal measures of sincerity and humour.

Renewal, resolution, celebration… How long has it been? forms the first release for New Year, a label shooting off from nights at South London well-of-goodness Spanners. The label aims to be an informal and exploratory home for music by friends and fellow travellers, with a gentle focus on songwriting and voice.
