Brandes shatters hearts and heals wounds on "The Distance Between Dreams"

Brandes has released a beautiful new album "The Distance Between Dreams," a UK-based singer-songwriter gives us a debut album loaded with poetic and emotional resonance. And over 13 composed tracks, Brandes delivers an account of a survivor, of grief, of love in all its possible forms, and its fractures.

At just over 53 minutes long, "The Distance Between Dreams" is a story through the interior of the human condition. Brandes runs message of loss, longing and tenuous connection through a voice that remains both worn down and weightless, with a literary based on his work as a political and cultural commentator. There’s a clear reverence for storytelling here and every track is a chapter in a book you don’t want to end.

These standouts come early and reverberate well after the final chord. “Like A Dagger” with subdued anxiety, examining the push-pull of intimacy with cinematic breadth, while “Please Don’t Call” is a smoldering elegy for things we wish we could take back a whispered anthem for anyone who has ever been haunted by unspoken conversations. Both songs highlight Brandes’s gift for turning personal grief into universal verse. Steeped in elements of indie folk, chamber pop and ambient textures, the album draws on cues from Sufjan Stevens to Nick Cave, while never losing its unmistakably Brandes sound.

The production is purposeful and low-key, creating room for his language to unfold and for the pauses between words to convey as much as the words themselves. But what lifts "The Distance Between Dreams" is its quiet sense of purpose. It’s about reclamation. With this project, Brandes pays homage to his lineage but blazes a new trail, using art as both an excavation and an exhalation. In this way, he shared space of healing, where memories might be cracked but can still sing. "The Distance Between Dreams" is available now on all major streaming services. Brandes has delivered a debut that demands to be felt. Listen with open ears. And an open heart.
