Single released 30/07/2007

"This has been taken from the album 'Dumb Luck'. which apparently took six years to record and was recently released on Moshi Moshi. 'The Distance', like the album itself, is as lyrically strong as it is experimental and refined, production-wise. That man Metronomy once again steps up the plate remix-wise, and delivers a down tempo versions with a killer groove. A perfect package for lazy summer days" [iDJ single review]

"More romantic Silver Lake electronic evening soirees from Jimmy Tamborello. The East LA resident and self-confessed homebody has just released "The Distance" under his dntel guise (He's also one half of Postal Services and member of Figurines). An album of awestock honesty and beauty all wrapped up in shimmering electronics and pixelated symphonies, this is the first single and that daydream vibe resonates from dntel's delicate vocals, skittish beats and shattered organ cords. The remix is courtesy of Metronomy and in a bid to bef up dntel's vibe and give him some of that fight talk, Joe Metronomy drops a heavyweight guitar riff (which sounds similar to Nirvana's "Love Buzz" which soon switches up into a haunting alt-disco track. Magical" [One Week To LIve single review]
