Released

The DIY culture that Flying Saucer Attack emerged from placed great value on the self-released 7” single, something the group’s leader, David Pearce, never forgot. But those records were often hard to stumble across; hence the value of a compilation like Distance, which pulls together Flying Saucer Attack’s early, mesmeric noise-pop singles – “Soaring High”, “Wish” – some bleary-eyed ambience, like “Oceans” (featuring Pearce’s Bristol peer Third Eye Foundation), and, in “November Mist,” a pensively hushed, fragile acoustic gem that points towards the folksier terrain Pearce would explore on the following year’s album, Further.
