After the first single “Kamilah”, LONG DISTANCE CALLING will release the second single “Giants Leaving” on 05.27.22, from their album “Eraser”, which will be released on August 26th.

With a concise and elegant rush of sound, an irresistible four-to-the-floor beat and some of the sharpest hooks in LONG DISTANCE CALLING's history, “Giants Leaving” is dedicated to the albatross.

"The song is dedicated to the albatross, unfortunately, one of many species facing extinction. The albatross is a beautiful and majestic creature, soaring across the skies with the largest wingspan in nature. The albatross is one of a few monogamous species, making it more challenging to mate in an increasingly dangerous and overfished environment, decreasing food availability and ongoing pollution." – Long Distance Calling

The eighth album of LONG DISTANCE CALLING Eraser is a direct and intimate tribute to the gradual erosion of nature by man. Thus, the band has dedicated the album to the endangered species of the world, with each song representing a particular creature threatened with extinction.

THE SPEARHEAD OF GERMAN INSTRUMENTAL/PROG-ROCK LONG DISTANCE CALLING ARE BACK WITH THE FIRST SINGLE "KAMILAH" FROM THE GREATEST PROGRESSIVE ROCK ALBUM OF THE YEAR, "ERASER".

earMUSIC is pleased to announce the release of LONG DISTANCE CALLING's new studio album "Eraser" on August 26, 2022.

With a reputation as a formidable and dynamic live band, not least due to multiple European tours and high-profile festival appearances, LONG DISTANCE CALLING have been developing towards a crescendo of their artistry for some time now. In 2020, despite being unable to hit the road, the band released their seventh and most absorbing full-length to date, “How Do We Want To Live?” which charted at 7 in the German Album Charts. An intricate but deeply satisfying concept piece, it showcased the ongoing expansion of the LONG DISTANCE CALLING sound, and received widespread plaudits as a result. Unable to take their new music directly to the people this time around, they instead decided to throw themselves enthusiastically into the creative process all over again.

The end result of all that creativity is surely destined to be one of the great progressive records of the year. LONG DISTANCE CALLING’s eighth album is titled Eraser: a direct and heartfelt tribute to the gradual erosion of nature at the hands of mankind. Eraser will be released on August 26th and is dedicated to the world’s endangered species, with each song representing one particular organism facing extinction.

First single Kamilah, out on April 22nd, honors the gorilla with a wildly dynamic journey through blissful, shimmering post-rock vistas, urgent and muscular metallic crescendos, and a profoundly melodic and melancholy denouement.
