The Distance Between The Killer And The Killing [Deluxe Marbled Vinyl]

David Sylvian - The Distance Between The Killer And The Killing [Deluxe Marbled Vinyl]

The Distance Between The Killer And The Killing is David Sylvian's first album of new solo work in about 15 years, and the follow-up to 2009's Manafon. It is the first release on the new Nanoq label.

The album is one continuous instrumental piece of about 46 minutes. Sylvian built it from improvised sessions recorded between 2012 and 2025, reworking and recomposing them into a single long-form composition. Contributors include Ryuichi Sakamoto, Otomo Yoshihide, Biliana Voutchkova, Miako Klein, Jamie Drouin and Lance Austin Olson. The music is made of breath, wind instruments, voices and texture rather than songs.

This deluxe edition is pressed on 180-gram marbled vinyl, with each copy unique, and housed in a silver mirror-board outer sleeve. It includes a hi-res download.
