“New Atmosphere”
New Atmosphere 7″ (out 12.08 on Moshi Moshi)
Well, this is a nice surprise. After a few years away, NZCA Lines (né Michael Lovett) returns with a new single and a potential follow-up to his excellent 2012 self-titled debut. “New Atmosphere” features the same icy new wave/synth-pop sound of his debut, and Lovett’s lovelorn vocals remain some of the most pleasing in the genre today. He’s also someone who has always been able to employ new agey production and imagery without veering into tired irony or pastiche, and it’s great to have him releasing new music again.
