Bright Spark Destroyer is a five-man band with 32-bit synthesizer. Starting as a long-distance writing and recording project between five musicians in different cities in late 2009, most of the band relocated to London following the release of their EP 'Holy Yell' in June 2010.

'The Shortest Distance' is a song about love and mathematics - using asymptotes as a metaphor for the sexual tension building in a strong friendship (we get so close/but we do not intersect). The song explores the most direct ways to dispel an anxious situation, these being honesty, apology and - perhaps cynically - bribery (if that doesn't work/then go out and buy them something nice).

Musically the song reflects the mood of the lyrics, with the opening chimes of the first verse hanging in the air before the band interrupt with a determined clatter akin to an amped-up Postal Service, leading the song into its effortlessly buoyant chorus.

The track has already gained radio support, being played on Tom Robinson's Friday night show and on his guest spot on the Nemone show, as well as various plays on Fresh On the Net and a feature on the Introducing Inquisition.
