NZCA LINES announces new EP 'Universal Heartbreak'

Following on from the release of his highly-praised 2020 LP 'Pure Luxury', NZCA LINES has now returned to announce the details behind a new EP, set to arrive later this year.

The new three-track collection 'Universal Heartbreak' is being previewed by the new lead single 'Push Reset', which comes accompanied by a stunning self-directed video, and is set to be released on the 22nd September via Memphis Industries.

Speaking about the new EP, he said, “Each of these songs started life on a Wurlitzer electric piano and 808 drum machine. I wanted to strip back my songwriting and directly express my experience over the past couple of years, which have been difficult for everyone to a greater or lesser extent. My version of this lives through the music on Universal Heartbreak: emotions I’ve had to process, frustration, anger or sadness I’ve had to work through. These songs are also inextricably linked with New York City and my life there between 2020-23, so self-directing a video in front of my apartment building seemed like an apt visual.

"I like the idea of releasing music as a time capsule, as an expression of my current life. Conversely, it’s very hard for me to finish music, to say “this is good enough, share it” - there’s always a voice telling me that it’s not. By releasing a series of EPs, I’m trying to shorten the length of time between creating music and releasing it, to obsess less and embrace spontaneity”.
