   About Northern Valentine - The Distance Brings Us Closer
The Distance Brings Us Closer is an improvisational collection of songs performed by the Philadelphia based group, northern valentine. Forming a multi-dimensional sound that takes many influences--what might accurately be called "distance music"-- it brings to mind a "still life" version of Sigur Rós morphed with the more explicitly atomospheric cross-currents of Windy and Carl, Eluvium and early Stars of the Lid. What may begin with a familiar haunting, shoegazey wail slowly oxygenates into a thick gauzy bed of metallic white noise, twinkling blips, shimmers, exhalations, and an occasional otherworldly excursion. It is total immersion in a constantly changing sound world that is both familiar and abstract, often simultaneously.

It was good seeing you again on Tuesday. I'm glad you got to jam with Jeff, and I really liked the spacy guitar sounds you guys were getting.
