(Noble) Bywater Call release of their second studio single of 2026, "How Long", from their forthcoming fourth studio album, set to come out July 2026 with more details to come soon.
"How Long" is slow burn, contemporary soul and R&B inspired song, influenced by the likes of Black Pumas, Brittany Howard (Alabama Shakes) and Amy Winehouse. Lush and deep, with soaring horns, lead synths, raw, exciting vocals and a hypnotic guitar feature, the song is indicative of the band's mission to meld old and new sounds and influences, while continuing to carve out a lane of their own.
On "How Long," Bywater Call evolves and embarks on a experimental journey, while delivering the familiar emotion and musical drive that followers of the band have come to love. Initially restrained and haunting, the song flowers into an intense catharsis.
"How Long is a raw and introspective song that wrestles with guilt, fragility, and the fear of becoming the very thing you never wanted to be," says lead singer Meghan Parnell. "Lyrically and melodically, we tried to convey the vulnerability and self-reflection of someone living in the fragile space between remorse and repetition."
The song was recorded at Palace Studios in Toronto, captured and mixed by Patric McGroarty, and mastered by Kristian Montano of Montano Mastering.
