Album UK 2016 on Feral Child Records label
Rock (Psychedelic Rock)
Limited to 300 copies. NYC Psych / baroque pop group The New Lines find their influences in the 1960s and 70s, spanning library music, psych folk and paisley pop. Their latest volley, “Love and Cannibalism“, was conceived of as a series of vignettes concerning a child mourning the death of a companion; the child's fantasy about reviving the dead; and a series of hallucinogenic visions on religious strife and the order of the universe resulting from the child's nascent forays into the occult. The album combines the alien and peculiar with the familiar and approachable, pairing hospital room-esque machine pulses with jazz-infused electric piano and drums (The Phylactery's Lesson); or stark sequencer arpeggios with acoustic guitar (Mass Observation). The New Lines are Hewson Chen (vocals, guitar, synth), Rene Dennis (organ, electric piano), Mark Di Donna (bass), Matt Schulz (drums) and Davis White (drums).
