The Distance Between the Killer and the Killing
David Sylvian
The newly formed record label Nanoq is proud to announce a new album from David Sylvian. The album is titled "The Distance Between the Killer and the Killing" and is Sylvian's first album release in 15 years.
The album consists of recordings made between 2012 and 2025 and is based on reconstructed improvisations with a range of different artists, including Otomo Yoshihide, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Biliana Voutchkova and Miako Klein, as well as Jamie Drouin, Lance Austin Olson and several others. The 46-minute instrumental work differs from everything Sylvian has previously created, and is considered by Sylvian himself as the official sequel to his 2009 album "Manafon".
In Pauline Nadrigny’s essay on the album, she describes something of the listening experience. “…voices surge that belong to no one in particular. One that hoots and hums across a violin, worked until it loses its voice, becomes mere matter among other matter. A voice inside the breath of a clarinet or a recorder. Grunts, gurgles, distant cries, somewhere between man and bird, woman and nuthatch. Fragments of choirs, far off, snatches of a song long since lost. Too far to be recovered.”
Limited edition 180g marbled coloured vinyl LP. Heavyweight 350gsm mirror board silver reflective outer sleeve. High-gloss finish on both outer and inner sleeves.
