Description

This is Noy’s second solo album.   Every track is a standout.  He captures the romance, passion and the meaning of Lao in his songs.  He has this ability to articulate through songs.  He is such a great artist, a wonderful songwriter and a very sincere person.

The Great Distance is such a good pop/rock album.  It’s artful of everything.  From folk rock to modern pop/rock, drum machines to acoustic guitars.  The voice, the full force of his music, energy and power.

The lyrics on this album are written by Noy and Friends from the Blackflame.  They are stories of their lives.

We are delighted to announce that Noy Sydanon has chosen LaoPress & Entertainment (laopress.com) to be the main distributor of his latest album in Australia and Asia.  We are delighted!!!!

Noy Sydanon will fly out to Australia to launch the album, The Great Distance.  We will keep you inform.  At this stage it appears to be some times in July.

He has been a phenomenon in Australia.  So watch out from the great distance for his BIG ONE!
