    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.

    Press:

    “Over the last few years (Mills) has quietly assembled an immensely impressive catalog. His songs are literate, funny and endearingly hangdog …..””- The Independent, UK

    “Chris Mills is the best songwriter we have in Gotham currently.” - Skyscraper

    “His hidden elegance lies in the twist of lovesick metaphor, the wistful chord, the revisionist take on the slamming door. “- NME
