about

Antithetic / An·​ti·​thet·​i·​c / An-tə-ˈthe-ti-k is just a word. Not a slogan or a reductive ethos to guide you through a morass of moral turpitude. It is a simple idea - to think freely, unencumbered by none but your own perspective.

The first EP from the Higher Line starts and finishes with that premise - that meanings should be communicated simply and plainly and truths should be told. The Higher Line are not making a grand statement, a "concept album" or a Nation of Ulysses-aping flag-waving manifesto. They are simply conveying their ideas.

The Higher Line has its origins in post-crash 2000s Britain, members playing in multiple bands and riding the ebb and flow of London's restlessly creative and frequently self-destructive DIY noise scene. The Higher Line was officially birthed in 2019 but its ideas go back further.

Thematically, these four songs cover the frayed patchwork of human experience - loss, grief, hope, anxiety. Sonically, the band take their cues from the 90s and 00s transatlantic underground, but this is unmistakably a work of its moment and its place, 2023 in post-modern, proto-atrophying London.

Recorded on a filthy January day on the Medway with Greg Webster at Noise Floor Recordings (USA Nails, Punching Swans, Screen Wives, Human Leather). Mastered by Greg Webster.

With Andrew Price on guitar, David Wortrich on bass and Sebastian Durkin on drums.
