A New Line (Related) - Crewe Away EP [Sound In Silence 126]

Put out on the circuit via the ever expanding Athens-based label Sound In Silence as their cat.no. 126 on October 20th, 2k25 is the "Crewe Away EP", the latest musical outing by Andrew Johnson's A New Line (Related) project. With a total of four tracks rolled out over roughly 34 minutes the title track "Crewe Away" caters a well surprising spatial and reverberating take on fever'ish RitualAmbient x TribalAmbient backed by hypnotic and mind-numbing midrange drones, eerie whispers and fascinating harmonic shifts followed by the brooding and fluttering low frequency shifts of "Slow And Through Once" which are accompanied by slightly Jazz-inspired minimal rhythms and what seem to be echoes of echoes of washed out DubTechno remnants. With the subsequent "Save A Window For Me In The Bliss Tomorrow" Mr. Johnson serves another take of sparse, yet rhythmically complex IDM / Electronica whereas the closing cut "Lytham And Sound (Low Light And C Version)" finally enters the dancefloor and waves goodbye on a deep and timeless DubTechno x Armchair Techno tip. A recommended and musically thrilling journey, this. Go get.
