Description
The Great Distance presents an exciting album of 12 tracks of alternative acoustic ambition. 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 of course the genius of Bob Dylan.
The Great Distance are Article Dan and Definitive Alex, two friends from a school in Worcester who formed a band in 2001 and moved to London to make it big. After 3 years of the ups and downs, the lows and lows of being in and running the band ("if you're in a rock band you might as well just say that you're in an argument..."), Dan and Alex made the decision to move onto better things in 2004 and set to recording exactly the sort of music they had always wanted to make - to challenge and push themselves, and acoustic music forward.
They built their own studio on a micro budget (Swine Maid Studios). They set their own rules and deadlines. They didn't drive themselves mad worrying about becoming the next Coldplay. They recorded the album they'd always wanted to record: The Great Distance.
We hope you find something here to love.
Article Dan - Vocals, rhythm guitar, piano, melodica (the spit-maker), dumbbells, shakers.
