Stockholm post-punk/goth band A Projection will reissue their third album “Section” as a limited edition white vinyl LP with amended cover artwork on 6 February 2026 via Metropolis Records, with pre-orders now open on Bandcamp.
Originally released on 25 October 2019, “Section” marked the band’s first collaboration with Metropolis Records and captured their move from a more guitar-led sound towards a blend of post-punk, darkwave and indie rock. The album includes the singles “Something Whole”, “Lucy Shrine” and “Substitute”, each supported by official videos.
For this 2026 edition, “Section” appears on white vinyl with revised artwork closer to the band’s original concept, while preserving the 11-track album sequence familiar from the 2019 release: “Something Whole”, “Strange”, “Time”, “Fall”, “Substitute”, “Verdicts”, “Lucy Shrine”, “Down”, “Diffusion”, “Live Again” and “Disbelief”.
“Section” followed the Tapete Records albums “Exit” (2015) and “Framework” (2017), closing the group’s first chapter with original vocalist Isak Eriksson before bassist Rikard Tengvall moved to lead vocals. After an enforced break during the 2020 lockdown period and further line-up changes, A Projection shifted towards a more synth-based sound on their fourth album “In A Different Light”, released by Metropolis in November 2022. That record introduced stronger early-1980s darkwave influences and featured contributions from Henrik Linder (Dirty Loops) and Sarah Boom (Turquoise).
About A Projection
A Projection formed in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2013 as a post-punk band drawing on The Cure, Joy Division/New Order, Sisters of Mercy, Interpol and Editors, alongside electronic influences from Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, D.A.F. and The Knife. The original line-up featured Isak Eriksson (vocals), Amos Pagin (guitar), Mattias Rue (bass), Linus Högstadius (synths) and Jesper Lönn (drums).
The group first signed with Hamburg label Tapete Records, which released their debut album “Exit” in April 2015 on CD and LP, establishing a sound rooted in 1980s post-punk with elements of darkwave and indie. Tapete followed this with the second album “Framework” in January 2017.
In 2019 A Projection signed to Metropolis Records. Their third album “Section” arrived in October 2019, recorded at Redmount Studio and presenting 11 tracks that combined New Wave, post-punk, gothic and indie rock elements under the new vocal leadership of bassist Rikard Tengvall following Eriksson’s departure. Metropolis later issued the fourth studio album “In A Different Light” in November 2022, showing a shift toward a more synth-oriented, darkwave-informed sound. In 2025 the band also marked a decade since their debut with the “Exit 10 Years” edition.
