A New Line (Related) – a quarterly update on the sadness

A New Line (Related) is the solo project of Andrew Johnson who has previously released music, either as a member of the bands Hood, The Remote Viewer, Famous Boyfriend and On Fell or solo under his real name and the alias of Septemberist, on labels such as Home Assembly Music, Domino Records, City Centre Offices, 555 Recordings and many others. A Quarterly Update On The Sadness, his third full-length album, consists of eight new tracks with a total duration of something more than 38 minutes. Once again, on his long-awaited return album Johnson beautifully balances minimal techno, dub house and ambient pop, using sounds from old analog drum machines, deep chords of eerie synths, gentle bass lines, distorted loops, shimmering drones, hypnotic effects, repetitive tribal beats and Hood-style distant vocals. The result is an immersive album that was mixed live to a real computer by Craig Tattersall (Hood, The Remote Viewer, Famous Boyfriend, The Humble Bee, The Boats) and mastered by George Mastrokostas (Absent Without Leave).
