Two years only after the release of their beginning album Satellite Bay, the German Post Rock-Metalers of Long Distance Calling are back with a new release, Avoid The Light. The less that we can say is that if this band was promising, their new release confirms that their first album was not done with some hazardous chance. Obviously this band knows how to do cool peaceful music and the fans of Isis or Cult Of Luna who still don't know the combo will have to discover Long Distance Calling asap.

Great album! Saw this band as a pre-programme to Katatonia and I was blown away. Bought their album at the merch stand. I'm glad I did it

Especially the song with Jonas as guest vocalist is awesome!

Great music to chill to. Pretty much all songs are good ('359' and 'Sundown Highway' are a little on the weaker side).

Great (mostly instrumental) post-rock magic! Lot of musical and tonal diversity makes the album flow nicely without becoming boring. It's hard to not like this - after all, only 4 out of 80 votes here are below an 8/10!

Post-rock just doesn't get much better than this, it's a phenomenal album from start to finish!
