01-What To Say

“New English” is an album full of songs that really want to love and comfort you, and characters you want to get to know. Sand in your hair is a tripped out dream floating over a stilted drum beat. Lunchroom and Left your arm are slacker-pop daydreams taking you back to high school…the record is full of these weird love songs, dealing with depression, old friends and loves, mortality, yadda yadda. When we put down our old dreams of grandeur, and settle into a good, small life…not everything needs to be happy. 

On his second LP, Christian Linsey is finally embracing himself, with a batch of songs that fit together in a lo-fi collage. While his first record (“After All”) was a response to great loss, “New English” can’t help but feel like a rebirth. He’s older now, has learned to trust himself and his friends, and is less afraid to care deeply about making art. He started a family, found new structure in his life, and the odd pockets of time between parenting duties in which he could experiment. Some of the songs arrived quickly, others were labored over for years. 

Linsey invited in bigger group of musicians – trusted collaborators Joe Rogers, Scott Porter, Matt Stamm, Pat Malone, Billy Ziff, along with some new voices: J57 (beats), Elenor Norton (cello), and Tory Giardina (vocals), whose contributions give the record a warm, ethereal quality. Together it all makes sense, sort of, and hey, it’s better than doing it alone.
