Distance Only Makes the Heart Grow Fonder is the third release by American metalcore band Poison the Well, following their split 12" vinyl with Promise No Tomorrow (released under the name An Acre Lost in early 1998) and a demo tape sold during the band's summer 1998 tour. The demo tape featured a selection of songs from this recording session, which is in turn a re-recording of the songs previously released on their split with Promise No Tomorrow. It was first released via Good Life Recordings in September 1998.
