Michael Menager’s brand-new album, Line In The Water, is now out in the streaming world as well as on CD and Vinyl. It’s the third musical collaboration between Michael and his gifted friend and producer, Heath Cullen, following Clean Exit (2014) and Not The Express (2016).
Recorded in Heath’s High Water Studio (on Yuin country near Candelo NSW) and written during the dark days of a world pandemic, Line In The Water chronicles Michael’s path through flood, bushfire, personal loss and the changing waters of our times. Yet while the album’s 10 tracks might chronicle some hard times, they also point toward that most noble of human characteristics: our resilience, our ability to survive, change and adapt, to swim with the raging current and to then discover calm spots along the bank that offer sanctuary and a chance to rest our hearts and minds.
In releasing and publicising Line In The Water, Michael has had the privilege of working with Stuart Coupe, a respected Australian music journalist, author and syndicated radio host. The following account by Stuart appears on the back cover of the Vinyl edition of Line In The Water, and, though not technically a review, it lays out the territory of the album with the skill and precision that only a true musical explorer could bring to the task.
Thanks again, Mr Coupe!
