about

Casual Breathing is Eric Johnson's first new release in eleven years and picks up where the experimental noise and guitar-driven soundscapes of Johnson's previous band Brazil (Fearless/Immortal Records) left off.

Drawing inspiration from a litany of tape-and-pedal experimentalists, Johnson has put together a brilliant ten-song album of 4-track explorations replete with sometimes-explosive, sometimes-hypnotic sonics and rhythms that bloom and then fold in on themselves like the cerebral psychedelics of Amon Düül II, Can, Robert Fripp and Brian Eno.

Making this type of record on a four-track is like building a house with four boards and a hammer. But having worked with producers Steve Albini, Dave Fridmann and Alex Newport in the past, Casual Breathing highlights Johnson's technical and compositional mastery with the "lost tapes" feel of late nights in a mic'd garage.

Johnson took a long hiatus after Brazil's 2008 breakup to battle his drug addiction until 2016. He started recording again in 2019 until an accident with a miter saw resulted in him nearly losing two fingers. After multiple surgeries, he started the painful process of physical therapy and re-learning to play guitar.

Casual Breathing is the first of three solo albums from Johnson under the name The Peculiar Order of Harmonic Convergence recorded in his home studio, Eat Sick. The album releases on all major digital channels on February 1, 2024.
