Lines of Silence are an experimental kosmische/krautrock band hailing from Todmorden, West Yorkshire by way of South East London and Manchester.
Formed in 2020 as a side project for David Little, LOS expanded into a loose collective of like-minded musicians, often playing improvised live sets. Lines of Silence is currently centred around a core duo of David Little and Manchester’s experimental electronics legend Dave Clarkson, with live visuals supplied by John Bonner and Adrian Ball.
Following the release of the low-key drone album Terra/Aqua in 2020, LOS embarked on the Stations of the Sun project – releasing a set of long form soundscapes reflecting on our relationship with the natural world on the dates of the solstices and equinoxes 2020-21. An edited collection of these was released in 2022 as Stations of the Sun.
Jamming with Jean-Hervé Peron and Amaury Cambuzat from kraut-legends FaUSt at the base of the Pyrenees in 2023 re-energised LOS and set the band’s controls for different – and stranger – destinations. Following a support slot for Amaury’s I Feel Like a Bombed Cathedral project in late 2023, LOS finalised their third album, The Long Way Home – an eclectic mix of motorik grooves, psychedelic drone rock, ambient passages and even occasional sprinklings of exotica and electronic jazz.
