Chris Mills and the Distant Stars – Alexandria: Born out of a chance meeting in the Scandinavian wilderness, Alexandria is the latest album by songwriter Chris Mills and his new backing band The Distant Stars. Recorded in New York, Oslo and Chicago and mixed by Grammy award winning engineer Ryan Freeland (Joe Henry, Ray La Montague, Tift Merritt, et. al.), Alexandria braves distance, dark seas and a haunted tape machine to deliver nine emotionally stark and romantic tales, where echoes of the past become a map to the wild, unknown future.
