New release, “Distance” from 15th Bend

The lockdown in 2020 led many to new ventures – baking banana bread, getting more active or using the time to learn a new skill. This is exactly what artist, 15^th Bend did, taking the opportunity to embark on one of his lifelong ambitions to learn the guitar. Even more impressive, this was a complete U-turn some might say, having had no musical experience prior.

Things accelerated pretty quickly, leading him to swiftly turn to original song writing and receiving strong praise from his listeners. He takes inspiration from artists such as Pink Floyd and Dire Straits in his music, casting a psychedelic, gentle rock style in his instrumental pieces.

His latest addition, “Distance” is filled with ambience and suspense as it builds, layering various melodies to transport you to a world away, creating distance from the real world yet generating intense focus in the presence. The simplicity allows you to drift away and fall into the music.
