Role Model's second album is a genuine artistic leap — trading the alt-pop sheen of his debut for something warmer and more grounded in indie-folk and country. The deluxe edition, subtitled *The Longest Goodbye*, added four tracks including "Sally, When the Wine Runs Out," a country-tinged single that went viral and landed Role Model his first Billboard chart placement. With Lizzy McAlpine guesting on "So Far Gone" and a near-perfect 4.9/5.0 rating across 640 Discogs reviews, this is one of the most well-regarded indie pop releases of the era — certified Silver in the UK and Gold in New Zealand.
This pressing stands out: the Canary Yellow vinyl is an immediate visual statement, and the 2-LP format gives the expanded deluxe track list room to breathe. The included poster makes it a complete package worth displaying, not just playing.
