'A rhythmic and progressive journey through new territory. Vintage telecaster and deep analogue soundscapes of Wild Biscuit.'

The Distance is a new album release from Argyll's song writing team and record label Wild Biscuit. With twelve original tracks, writers John Saich and Mags Russell have created an eclectic and vibrant style, mixing contemporary soundscapes with retro guitar and a Celtic spirit. John is best known for his career as bass player and guitarist with Capercaillie, one of Scotland's most internationally acclaimed Celtic roots bands. The Distance represents a departure from the traditional into a more diversely inspired style, but the unmistakeable bass licks and liquid programming still make their mark throughout.

Featured throughout on lead vocals is unsigned artist Jacqui Kerr, a nineteen year old former student of Lochgilphead High School and living proof of the undiscovered talent that abounds in the Highlands of Scotland. The Distance features several special guests, including Neil Primrose (Travis), whose soulful drumming takes the tracks into new and unexpected dimensions.

The album was recorded and mixed entirely at Wild Biscuit's studio in Argyll
