Lontano

Lontano is a beautiful collection of Ambient compositions that in two tracks feature spoken word poetry by accomplished lead singer of the Australian band the Church, Steve Kilbey. The approach in Lontano is more cinematic than in the past and more linked to Images, visual art, and cinema.

Samora provides with Lontano a soundtrack for the mind and creates drifting sounds with drones and noises and a more rhythmic approach with broken patterns and traditional instruments, that make a different approach than the previous album, the unspeakable.

Lontano will be not only a collection of tracks but even a visual project with a series of videos (the first Mare aperto is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6sehjHLywc) and a series of remix, the first one Mare aperto is available for free download at psychonavigation: http://psychonavigation.com/post/94250989421/free-samora-single-download-taken-from-samoras

Steve Kilbey - formed The Church, together with Koppes, Nick Ward, and Marty Willson-Piper, in Sydney in the late 1970s. After some success in their native Australia in the early 1980s, Kilbey and The Church went on to international fame when "Under the Milky Way", from the 1988 album Starfish, achieved success. "Under the Milky Way" appeared in the top-selling singles charts of both Australia and the United States (US). In late 2011 Kilbey revealed that, at the time of the interview, the song was still used for television programmes and advertisements. The Church continued as an active band and they are active even now. Kilbey published a book of poetry in 1998 entitled Nineveh/The Ephemeron and later republished a hard copy version that contained both books and a limited number of 50 copies was released. In 2013 he released the ironically titled Uncollected which collects all his previously published writings. He's also a valued painter. More at http://thetimebeing.com/
