The melancholic aspect of\u00a0our music is often offset by an aggressive dissonance, but to me there&#8217;s also a\u00a0romantic side to what we do, which isn&#8217;t always clear because of the 100mph drive of the band. That&#8217;s what we are exploring with this new album<\/em>.&#8221; &#8211; Craig Johnson<\/p>\n<p>They found a former double-glazing firm, under a disused bridge, in Holbeck (Leeds\u2019 red light district), and despite having no experience of such a job, they undertook this feat. It took a year from ripping out the existing contents to finishing the album \u2013 which was then mixed in New York by Ben Greenberg, known for his work with the Sacred Bones label.<\/p>\n<p>On top, Johnson taught himself how to make a record after the studio was built. <em>\u201cI was down there nearly every night,\u201d<\/em> Johnson recalls.<em> \u201cIt was pretty horrible at times, but worth the pain to have control over everything. We\u2019ve had the chance to create the sound we want, at times it\u2019s more melancholic, and romantic.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The self-produced &#8216;The Moral Crossing&#8217; will contain 10 new songs from the band.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size-18\" lang=\"x-size-18\"><strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-26482\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bfa9985e32bf7c8803a55cd1_560x560.jpg?resize=300%2C300\" alt=\"Autobahn The Moral Crossing cover\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bfa9985e32bf7c8803a55cd1_560x560.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bfa9985e32bf7c8803a55cd1_560x560.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bfa9985e32bf7c8803a55cd1_560x560.jpg?resize=144%2C144&amp;ssl=1 144w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bfa9985e32bf7c8803a55cd1_560x560.jpg?resize=176%2C176&amp;ssl=1 176w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bfa9985e32bf7c8803a55cd1_560x560.jpg?resize=60%2C60&amp;ssl=1 60w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bfa9985e32bf7c8803a55cd1_560x560.jpg?w=560&amp;ssl=1 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Track listing:<\/strong><br \/>\n1.
