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. The Phantom Void is 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.

Nothing can turn back the tides of time or stop their inexorable forward grind, but music can always be relied upon to make the journey more enjoyable. LONG DISTANCE CALLING have been expressing the inexpressible for the last 16 years, ploughing their primarily instrumental furrow with the skill and dexterity of true sonic artisans.

Germany’s most successful instrumental rock act Long Distance Calling explore the next step in their multi-faceted career with their 7th studio album ‘How Do We Want To Live?’. The band have returned with a sharply defined, artistically deep exploration of the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence. In late 2020, Long Distance Calling will continue their hugely successful ‘Seats & Sounds’ tour, and this year also saw them nominated for the German Musikautorenpreis 2020 for compositional & artistic achievement. ‘How Do We Want To Live?’ carries all the bands trademarked sounds whilst at the same time revealing new, surprising and unexpected elements of the Long Distance Calling sonic landscape.
