Californian guitarist Sepand Samzadeh and keyboarder Oscar Fuentes founded DAYS BETWEEN STATIONS in November 2003.Their project is named
after a novel written by surrealist Steve Erickson which was published first in 1985. The band can lookback to a liaison with Pineapple Thief in
2004 which used some of their improvised material as the basis for the song'Saturday' of the album '12 Stories Down'.
For their eponymous debut released in 2007 Samzadeh and Fuentes managed to integrate some fine musicians to express theirimagination of making
music with a range from what they describe as art rock to post prog. Former Young Dubliners drummerJon Mattox began to collaborate in 2005 and
became the band's co-producer on top of it. Samzadeh's uncle Jeffrey, who singstraditional iranian music, lent his distinctive wail to the opening song
'Requiem For The Living'.
DAYS BETWEEN STATIONS' first album is provided with two long tracks whereby 'Laudanum' with over 20 minutes is thecenterpiece. A melancholic
and charming effort with some references to Pink Floyd and fitted out with convincing brasscontributions. Ambient soundscapes, contemporary
classical moments and even a short new wave excursion are completing thewide stylistic boundaries - simply recommended for film music. Besides
some plans to release an EP featuring non-album tracksand demos the band is working on a follow-up. « hide
