Casting Nets

Classic and sublime songs seperate artists like Distance, Light & Sky from the mainstream. Their wonderful debut album consists of 10 amazing tracks analogue recorded in the Sono Studios in Prague with legendary producer Phill Brown (Talk Talk - „Spirit of Eden“). Songwriter Chris Eckman knows how to tie on to the best times of The Walkabouts but Distance, Light & Sky is not a solo- not either a side project it is truly a band of its own. Alongside Chris Eckman you'll see the adorable female singer and songwriter Chantal Acda from the Netherlands/England. Chantal is well known for her work with the band the Isbells and recorded her last solo album „Let Your Hands Be My Guide“ with Nils Frahm and Peter Broderick of Efterklang („Exquisite. As soft as snow“ - MOJO 04/05, „Starry-eyed beauty“ - Uncut 08/10). Next to her and Chris there's percussionist and composer Eric Thielemans of the EARR Ensemble who's famous for his work with the legendary Sun Ra saxophonist Marshall Allen. You'll see that Distance, Light & Sky consists of 3 musicians coming from a different backround connected by a common musical vision.
