• Distant Dream > Point of View
    The dense melody of a guitar, with a clever use of delay and reverb. A sound that seems to come from afar, shy and gentle, only to be reached by the grandeur of a rhythm section that raises the bar. The wonderful solo by guest Jake Howsan Lowe, the compact and tight drumming… Ladies and …
