The band's fourth album for Radioactive Records combines all of the elements that make Live a truly great rock band: razor-sharp guitars, articulate bass, dynamic drumming and masterful poetry. The Distance to Here contains the unconventional commentary we've come to expect from the band, but this time out, their messages are delivered with musical and vocal arrangements that exchange melodic hooks for unsurpassed raw, grizzly passion.

Songs like "The Dolphin's Cry" and "Run to the Water" boast soaring melodies and a sharp, multi-dimensional sound.

State of Vermont. A tragic death. Moral and legal ambiguities... A page-turner from the Water Witches and Midwives-author.

  Lying Awake by Mark Salzman

Salzman's third novel, with its complexity/simplicity of a Chinese poem, shines like the brightest star in the night's sky. "An austere masterpiece."
Salzman made a highly auspicious debut in 1986 with Iron and Silk, a memoir of his years in China, and since then he has dramatically changed key in every book - most recently from the absurdist American suburban chronicle of Lost in Place to the artistic-crisis novel The Soloist.
