about

Distance Grows in the Bones is an album of "poem songs," poetry readings set to music. More than just spoken word over incidental music, it is a deep collaboration in which the nuances of voice and meaning informed every step of the creation of the music.

The soundscape ranges far and wide, reflecting the vast distances of the poems themselves. Electronica, post-rock, jazz, bossa nova, and dubstep course around the hints of stories contained within the postcards.

The poems themselves are written as a series of postcards from distant locations. They are collected in the book Dangerous Goods, Sean Hill's second poetry collection.
