Distance
Cheer Advisory Council formed in Adelaide, Australia in late 2008. At its biggest, the Council now boasts seven members, even reclaiming the bassoon as the rock instrument it always knew it could be. The band’s dusky, smokey feel, with slow tempos and crashing crescendos, is reminiscent of the music of Low, The National, Midlake and Wilco.
Distance is the band’s first album. It was recorded by Matt Hills, who has also worked with Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire!, Wolf & Cub, The Lucksmiths and all sorts. It tells the many stories of confused youngsters trying to understand adulthood, with many group harmonies, some pop hooks and one big guitar solo.
