"Plaintive voice times delectable electro prettiness times a monstrous bass equals Line....... Touching and defiant" - Lend Me Your Ears
Line is Neil Wells.
Until recently an electronic sideline to his main musical interests (including the bands Seachange (Matador), Savoy Grand (Pickled Egg/Glitterhouse) and Escapologists), his 2005 debut 7", 'A Snowstorm in a Globe/Observe the Mechanics' , "borrow(s) the sunglasses-at-night menace that bruises Depeche Mode's darker work before mingling it with the kind of detachment normally associated with Colder" (Boomkat).
A slew of compilation appearances followed, as well as live shows with the likes of Fog, Alias, The Bug, DMX Krew, Kid606, Debasser, Cylob, and Panda Bear, topped off this year by an appearance on Uncharted Audio's "Signals" subscription 7" series alongside artists such as Plaid, Si Begg, King Cannibal and labelmate Cursor Miner.
Now focussing on the electronic stuff, Line's debut LP, 'Hearts', spins strands of lo-fi electro, acid, indie rock and techno into heartrending love songs and is scheduled for a February 9th, 2009 release on Uncharted Audio.
