Release Notes

Although we'd almost given up hope, there seems to be a
parallel universe away from anaemic supermarket muzak,
restless radio formats and short-lived trends after all. There
still is music which allows its listeners enough space for
unlimited enjoyment, unfolds all its glory on top of lavish
arrangements and takes the liberty of celebrating sounds and
harmonic sequences in the elaborateness they deserve. This
music is available here and now, thanks to Long Distance
Calling, a five-piece from Germany's Munster region. Their
second album, Avoid The Light, will be out on 27 April 2009 on
Superball Music and promises everything you find yourself
looking for without avail in most contemporary bands: an
immediate coexistence of depth and exaltation, melancholia and
joie de vivre, great gestures and small peculiarities.

And somehow there's so much more to discover in Long Distance
Calling's music: Avoid The Light opens a big gate which you
step through to find a great diversity of moods and
atmospheres. The basics consist of instrumental guitar rock
with an ambient flavour, an oscillation of psychedelic and
progressive rock elements. At the same time, Avoid The Light
is an album which requires few words to communicate a lot.
Should we call it post rock? Or perhaps new art rock? The
label is irrelevant, it's the content that matters.

Reactions to Long Distance Calling's debut, Satellite Bay
(2007), were unanimously positive: 'Off the beaten track, away
from the hype fostered by bumptious music publications, away
from all fashionable trends and the maundering zeitgeist,
without a 3-minute corset but a with a lot of persistence,'
commented a reviewer in the magazine, Schallgrenzen, by all
appearances covering all important benchmark data that mark
Avoid The Light. At the same time, the five band members,
David Jordan (guitar), Janosch Rathmer (drums), Florian
F│ntmann (guitar), Jan Hoffmann (bass) and Reimut van Bonn
(ambience), impress with an even more open-minded and
progressive approach on Avoid The Light. According to the
musicians, the six new tracks present 'an even wider stylistic
range than our debut and are - as a direct consequence of our
numerous gigs in 2008, with Dredg, at the Rock am Ring and
Roadburn festivals, among others - faster, more haunting and
more dynamic. Thanks to the thoroughly positive reactions to
our first release, we have generally become much keener on
experimentation.Ў As its predecessor, Avoid The Light features
√ along with the five instrumental tracks - a number with a
renowned guest vocalist. While Satellite Bay presented The
Haunted's Peter Dolving, Jonas Renkse (Katatonia) recorded the
vocal number 'The Nearing Grave' on the latest Long Distance
Calling release. 'We're all great Katatonia fans, so it seemed
the obvious thing to do to ask Jonas.'

Avoid The Light was produced by Kurt Ebelhauser (Blackmail,
Donots, among others), a true master of his art. 'The
collaboration with him had a thoroughly positive effect on our
sound,' observe the band members and can be confident that the
transparent production does justice to their fascinating
compositional parameters at all times. What a band, what an
album...
