It's hard to believe, but it's been over a decade since The Brilliant Mistakes formed, and five years since the release of our last album, Dumb Luck. In that time we've been hard at work not just making new music, but being consumed by our lives: Marriages, homes, children, jobs, pets, gardens, The Sopranos. But our music beckoned - as it always does - and led us back on the trail. Distant Drumming is the result of a year spent in a basement studio in the Woodlawn section of the Bronx, a heavily Irish enclave thick with redheads and soda bread, pubs and ample parking. Lincoln Schleifer, a fiftysomething unrepentant Jewish hippie who has made his own career as a great bassist working with such icons as Levon Helm, Donald Fagen, Boz Scaggs, Solomon Burke, Warren Haynes and many others, produced. We had worked with Lincoln on Dumb Luck, and decided to work with him again, not only because he did such an incredible job on that album, but because he convinced us he could offer us much more this time if we brought him deeper and earlier into our creative process: choosing songs, arranging them, experimenting with sounds, vibes, tempos and instrumentation. He was right. As a result, Distant Drumming is stranger, more beautiful, organic and, by far, the most musically accomplished album we've ever made. We've never recorded our songs with the idea of making them radio-friendly. The fact that they are is because we are influenced by classic rock and pop craftspeople like the Beatles, ATTENTION: please remember that all Blu-Rays are Region A USA and all DVDs Region 1 USA and you will need a multi region Blu-Ray/DVD player to play them.
