Perth Lewis - Distance Between

NuNorthern Soul presents Distance Between, the second full-length album from Sydney-based musician and producer Perth Lewis, the recording alias of Luke Fugar. It follows the warmly received 2025 release Moments In Time, an album that quietly found its way into the sets, playlists, and radio shows of Balearic selectors and deep-listening DJs around the world.

Where Moments In Time captured snapshots of memory and mood, Distance Between widens the frame. Perth Lewis steps deeper into his world of dusty drum machines, introspective guitar loops, and gently evolving textures, exploring the emotional space that exists between places, people, and shifting seasons of life. The result is an understated yet expressive collection of work that carries forward his trademark warmth and sincerity.

Perth Lewis’s sound leans into atmosphere over gloss. His DIY approach brings a human touch: soft edges, delicate imperfections, and melodies that feel instinctive and honest. Distance Between expands this palette, bringing a broader sense of movement while keeping the intimacy that defined his debut.

His previous album received strong support from respected DJs, broadcasters, and producers. Feedback described the music as “really beautiful, gentle but full of emotion,” “fresh, atmospheric and beautifully textured,” “beautifully understated and atmospheric,” “dreamy, beguiling and loaded with woozy gems,” and “music designed to make you exhale and sink in.”

Key voices described the album as:
“Really beautiful… gentle but full of emotion. The textures feel organic and alive… truly elegant and sincere.” — Be.Lanuit

“A sublime experience from start to finish!” — Max Essa

“Beautiful. Love the continuation concept between each track.” — Chris Howler (1BTN)

“Massive fan… atmosphere and distance. Beautiful gear designed to make you go ‘ahhhhh’… a lot of this WILL be looked at as utter classics.” — Jaye Ward

“Beautiful album, loaded with woozy gems.” — Bruce Tantum

These reactions underline what Distance Between now builds on: a quietly growing reputation for depth, character, and emotional pull.

Across the album, rhythms unfold at an unhurried pace, guitars shimmer in and out of focus, and synths stretch into open space. It is music made for reflective moments, early mornings, late evenings, and the quiet gaps in between.

NuNorthern Soul continues its mission of sharing recordings shaped by honesty, feeling, and a strong sense of place. Distance Between sits naturally within that world, a modern Balearic album in spirit, unforced and beautifully present.
