Long Distances are a dream-pop indie band from India who has won our hearts with their latest single “Empire.” From the opening guitar riff you are transported to an emotive transcendent sonic territory that only the best of the dream pop genre can do.
Through the guitar work, shimmering synths, and emotive vocal work, you are overwhelmed with a feeling of longing, loss, and melancholy. It also doesn’t hurt that the song is charming and addictive as all hell.
Speaking on the song, the bands details:
The song is very much a response to the current political context, both at home and in the world. When powerful entities use money, brute force and exclusionary politics, it is very hard not to feel a sense of despair and anger.
