The Seven Mile Journey are a post-rock band from Denmark. On February the 6th 2006, The Seven Mile Journey released their promising debut album ”The Journey Studies” at [fono’gram] – agency. The album has been recorded at SafeLandings Studios in February 2005 and will be distributed through VME. The Seven Mile Journey’s musical universe moves within the post rock genre and since 1999 the band has made instrumental music, which also signifies the debut album ”The Journey Studies”. It is a unified whole made by dynamic changes and melancholic notes, long and intense passages that invite the listener to absorption. Live The Seven Mile Journey presents a musical challenge by moving from dark and gloomy passages to intense and epic majestic soundscapes. Captivating stories are made and told by the band and thereby the listener is being invited to become a passenger on a musical journey that succeeds the ordinary. ”With songs lasting up to 20 minutes, and a simple set-up using two guitars, bass and drums, The Seven Mile Journey delivers controlled magnificent instrumental music of symphonic style [...] Well-proportioned arrangements sprinkled with gorgeous guitar passages and small glittering details which are likely to give the listener the chills.” – Forma Nova The original set-up of the band (four members) was in the summer of 2005 expanded with a fifth member to further enhance the intensity and broaden the dimensions in the sound of The Seven Mile Journey. In the summer of 2002 The Seven Mile Journey recorded their self titled demo-CD, which gave the band concerts in Denmark as well as abroad. The demo received great reviews from the Danish press. “Musically The Seven Mile Journey is at a high level – and is only a surprise or two away from matching up with some of the genres great releases” - Geiger
