Macie Stewart describes her second solo album When The Distance Is Blue, released by International Anthem, as »a love letter to the moments we spend in-between«. It sounds a bit like a cliché about life help, but here it is meant primarily in musical terms. Because, the eight tracks, collaged from ambient pads, piano improvisations, string arrangements, and field recordings, emphasize the pauses. Who doesn’t love them? With Lia Kohl, Whitney Johnson and Zach Moore, the Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist also has high-caliber collaborators at her side.
