156Silence releases From A Distance

156/Silence’s “From A Distance” is not a same-day single drop. The Pittsburgh band’s new release arrived on September 4 as a full 12-track album through Pure Noise Records, according to the label’s release page and listings on Spotify and Apple Music. The project includes the title track “From A Distance,” credited as featuring Alex Reade. Pure Noise had announced in May that the record would be the band’s sixth full-length and its follow-up to 2024’s “People Watching.” ### So was “From A Distance” a single or an album release? Pure Noise Records listed “From A Distance” as a September 4, 2026 release with 12 tracks, not as a standalone single. The label’s page names songs including “Control Burns,” “No Arms,” “Order & Entropy,” and the title track near the end of the sequence. Spotify’s pre-release listing and Apple Music’s album page also identify it as a 12-song album scheduled for — and then available from — September 4. (purenoise.net) Apple Music’s artist page for 156/Silence places “From A Distance” alongside earlier releases including “People Watching” from 2024 and “Our Parting Ways” from 2025. That catalog view matches Pure Noise’s description of the new record as the latest body of music since “People Watching.” ### What exactly is on the release? Pure Noise’s track list shows 12 songs, with guest appearances on three of them. “Collateral” features Crippling Alcoholism, “Cannon Fodder” features Mike Hranica, and “From A Distance” features Alex Reade, according to the label page and merchandise listings. (purenoise.net) Discogs and Apple Music list the same track count and release date. Discogs identified physical editions released in the United States on September 4, including CD and vinyl versions under catalog number PNE484. (music.apple.com) Pure Noise’s store also listed multiple vinyl variants and a CD tied to the same release date. ### Where did the confusion about a “today” drop likely come from? Live Nation’s music roundup on X grouped 156/Silence with other fresh releases in a social-media post cited in the source material. (purenoise.net) But the verifiable release data available from the band’s label and streaming platforms points to September 4, 2026, not September 8, 2026, as the release date for “From A Distance.” Pure Noise’s own archive shows the rollout started earlier. (discogs.com) On May 19, the label said 156/Silence had announced “From A Distance” for release on September 4 via Pure Noise Records. That post also identified the band as a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania act and described the record as its sixth album. ### What does this release tell readers about where 156/Silence is in its catalog? Pure Noise’s artist page says “From a Distance” is the band’s first album with the label, after 156/Silence signed to Pure Noise in October 2025. (purenoise.net) Apple Music’s catalog and the label archive place “Our Parting Ways” in 2025 between “People Watching” in 2024 and the new album in 2026. Spotify’s artist page showed 156/Silence with about 477,300 monthly listeners in a recent crawl, offering one current measure of the band’s streaming footprint as the album reached platforms. (purenoise.net) ### Where can listeners find it now, and what comes next? Spotify, Apple Music and Pure Noise’s release page all now carry “From A Distance,” and Pure Noise’s store has listed CD, vinyl and merchandise tied to the album. (purenoise.net) The label’s May 19 announcement fixed September 4 as the release milestone, and the next concrete updates are likely to come through Pure Noise and 156/Silence’s own channels rather than from third-party social roundups.
