Long Distance Operators [LP]

Graindorge/Hugo Race, Catherine - Long Distance Operators [LP]

Long Distance Operators (LDO) is a collaboration between Australian musician Hugo Race and Belgian violinist Catherine Graindorge. Race — singer, songwriter, producer, and author — has a long and wide-ranging history, from the trans-global Dirtmusic and his groups True Spirit and Fatalists to his origins in the '80s Melbourne post-punk scene with Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and The Wreckery. Graindorge, violinist and composer, is known for her solo work and collaborations with artists including Iggy Pop, John Parish, Pascal Humbert (16 Horsepower), and Simon Huw Jones (And Also The Trees), and also composes for theater and cinema.

The music of LDO is an intensely atmospheric dreamweave of violins, electronics, and Hugo's darkly evocative voice, exploring metaphysical lyrics, experimental sounds, and retro-baroque orchestrations in a romantic, song-based context. Available as a standard LP or with a bonus 7".
