Commenting on the record, vocalist Emmanuel Jessua offered:

A Distant Dark Source is our 5th album. It continues to chase those demons and lost memories which we have been chasing ever since the debut album "Des Deux L'Une Est L'Autre". The album is an inward journey to the land of the ghosts of the past. At the origin of this distant dark source lies Tauca, an old Palaeolithic lake located in Bolivia, where I grew up, and where I continue to find inspiration for my musical work. This album is the continuity of what we've built since the beginning of the band, but it has a more visceral and direct, violent approach. It's raw, direct and it got no boundaries, it's our more personal album for many reasons. We found a common way to express this music, now we feel like all those lands we travelled together result in this particular musical object. But there's more than sound, and we hope that you'll escape on great wanderings too.
