Ambitious British Alt-Country, The Great Distance appeared at Number 5 in the US Billboard '2005: The Year in Music' chart of album releases. 'Mixing the best of Wilco, Sigur Ros and Radiohead makes this one a keeper.'
Bio / Background
'A statue covers her eyes in sadness, or shame, on the album cover; inside, in a world of shadows and echoes, a duo from London creates haunting, slow-motion, guitar-and-piano-laden music about heartbreak, about hurt, about trying to find something or someone worth living for.' Erasingclouds.com
The Great Distance presents a beautiful, ambitious album of British Alt-country. Featuring the distinctive voice and song writing talent of Article Dan and the musical inspirations of Definitive Alex, The Great Distance takes its roots from influences such as Van Morrison's Astral Weeks, Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Radiohead's OK Computer, and a touch of Tom Waits.
The band could talk forever about the album. Better you read what others, less biased, have said:
Reviews for The Great Distance debut album:
"...mood music for a summer's eve, sultry without trying to be sultry, moody without seeming conceited, laidback and beautiful without ever complicating things.

'A revelation [with] divine traces throughout...' Tasty Fanzine
