For 20 years, Long Distance Calling have been telling stories without words. Their albums are cinematic rock monoliths, conveying profound emotion even without uttering a single syllable. Epic musical studies of transcendent beauty, surging storms of sound in instrumental perfection, no distraction from words. Just sound. Pure sound.

With eight breathtaking studio albums, numerous EPs, and major tours through countless countries (most recently even China), the band has earned a reputation as leading post-rock visionaries and Germany's most exciting rock band. As a result, Long Distance Calling was even nominated for the German Music Authors' Award in 2020. And in 2026, they are finally opening a whole new chapter with the nightmarish, serpentine chimeras of “The Phantom Void”. Their most varied, bleakest, and most exciting work draws its overwhelming power not from a forced presence, but from a strong sense of timelessness. This is Major Tom, who has long since stopped receiving signals from Ground Control and floats freely among the stars. Long Distance Calling paint songs of cosmic beauty on the night sky, a band of intrepid lucid dreamers who set out to explore the most secret corners of our collective psyche. And who fills them with music.

A powerful document of a band at their creative peak, this recording is both a celebration of the past and a bold step into the future.
