Liines Disappear / Be Here

A double-A of tracks Disappear and Be Here the third single from Manchester post-punk three-piece LIINES (and their first physical release) will be available digitally and on limited pure white vinyl from 28 October. Produced by Paul Tipler (Idlewild, Stereolab, Placebo, Elastica, Earl Brutus), Disappear / Be Here is LIINES at their very best. This is a single which showcases the scale of their sound; a vastness that makes you anticipate each beat, rewarded with huge hooks and driving basslines to make your heart hammer hard. The release follows their hotly received debut ‘Never There’ and follow up ‘Blackout’. Press quotes: “Brilliant - driving and strident, it’s pared down to the bare essentials: an urgent vocal melody, a propulsive rhythm, grinding guitars.” The Quietus. “‘Disappear’ is a fraught slice of punk rock with echoes of Sleater-Kinney, Elastica and Fugazi in the mix. It’s urgent and vital stuff.” The National Student “The driving bassline and crisp vocals invoking comparisons to the likes of Savages, LIINES are certainly ones to watch.”
