What do you get when you combine a spoken word artist with the guitarist/singer from NYC metal band Goes Cube? Not what you’d expect (not sure whatever exactly you’re expecting anyway…). Distant Correspondent merges these widely differing talents into a very unlikely scenario: There’s a world of hazy moodiness here, on the level of The Jesus and Mary Chain’s swirling shoegazery: thick guitars and gorgeously arranged harmonies.
When David Obuchowski and Emily Gray met up after anonymously listening to each other’s music for years, the sum they created is truly bigger than the parts. We are looking forward to their debut dropping later this year. Preview the haunting track ‘Listen’ below to hear some of Emily Gray’s spoken word, and look forward to their self-titled debut album due out October 22nd. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
