Lines of Silence are an experimental kosmische band from the stranger reaches of North West England. LOS combine experimental analogue and digital electronics, motorik beats, improvisation and drone rock guitar explosions to create an immersive and expansive take on psychedelia. 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 (Dimple Discs). 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 (Analogue Trash, forthcoming) – an eclectic mix of motorik grooves, psychedelic rock, ambient passages and even occasional sprinklings of exotica and electronic jazz.
