About

Distances is a passing reflection of traveling aquatic landscapes, and deserted American towns. Ships and harbors come to life with floating ghostly visions built with spaced out guitars and lush reverberated arrangements. Various sounds and instruments are buried over vocals that barely float above the water, creating songs that vary from minimal ambience to the epically psychedelic.

Distances was recorded between 2009 and 2013, in a flux of impermanent spaces. The bulk of the songs were tracked at a former Pocono resort in an abandoned recreation hall dubbed “The Rec Room”. Many believe the building to be haunted. A stream flows underneath The Rec Room, and a vegetable garden was pioneered around a once glorious swimming pool, now teeming with life. Vocals, keys and atmospheric elements in The Rec Room, along with the contributions of collaborators. The remainder of the album was produced in various locations throughout the throughout the Lehigh Valley, PA and at Supreme Sound Studio in New Jersey.
