THE PHANTOM VOID

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.
