Album Notes

Fly From August started recording The Distance Light Travels without knowing exactly what they were going to do. What they ended up with was something completely unexpected, an eclectic album combining the progressive rock sounds of the 70s, electronic sampling, melodic vocals, all rolled together with the modern rock sounds of today.

Lyrically, the album covers a number of topics, from self-realization, relationships, friendship, to greek mythology, space, mystery, irony, and science.

Their sounds have led to bold comparisons like Radiohead (Red Light Studios, The Noisy Paper, stltoday.com), Built To Spill (Donny Fandango of 105.7 The Point), and Smashing Pumpkins (All-Star Radio).

They have had some small success early on, earning top judges marks in a Mars Music Battle of the Bands last May and making the first cut of the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands this past summer.

Their first full length effort, "The Distance Light Travels" was released on January 27, 2001. Early listens reveal an album of "darkly attractive modern rock" that is both moody and atmospheric.

Prior to release, "Deeper" was selected and appeared on the Red Records Compilation. The track was chosen as #5 in DJ Dad's top 5 for the week of June 18, 2001 at WSIA 88.9 FM in New York.

Additionally, the band has received several favorable reviews on Garageband.com for both "Deeper" and "Rebel."

The CD is currently available online at flyfromaugust.com, autopilotrecords.com, cdbaby.com, and garageband.com. St. Louis' Blue Sky Distribution will begin distributing the CD in late July to major music outlets in the midwest.
