From the beautiful scene setting opener “Always, Always, Always Never” to the irony laden and rocking “Reunion Souvenirs” this is an album about regret and celebration. With the slow building trumpet and banjo laden “Underground”, the small town trappings of “Height Of Land” it becomes apparent that “Draw A Distance. Draw A Border.” is a set of songs about looking back at choices and changes made and how they have lead one to the here and now. During the album you will hear a lamenting lap steel, the tinkling of a piano, the aforementioned trumpet and banjo as well the sound of a respirator and a heart monitor. With the final bittersweet goodbye of the album closer “Far Off Places”, the story closes but like any great story its song keeps playing in your head long after the music has stopped. Having traveled the snowy highways of Canada on two winter tours, The Details (featuring former members of Sixty Stories) spent July traveling from Vancouver to Halifax, and are now looking forward to doing it all again in October. |
