Step Into an 80’s Inspired Indie Dream with Lush Vocals and Captivating Melodies – ‘Dorothy’ is the highly anticipated new single from Faint Line!

Faint Line, the Leeds-based duo, are excited to announce the release of their new single, Dorothy, available on all major streaming platforms starting October 20th. You will be able to hear it on the live Mad Wasp XS show hosted by Samantha Marcus from 9pm this Friday 20th October and across other shows over the coming weeks and we will post the video as soon as it is available.

After the notable success of their previous single Red Tide, the duo ventured into new sonic territories with Dorothy, melding nostalgic 80’s inspiration with a modern indie flair and beautifully emotive vocals (delivered magnificently by Lia Wickham).

"As this is the first single from our new EP we wanted to make sure we were stretching ourselves a bit. Sonically this is definitely something different to Red Tide. Might be a mistake though, as everyone loved that tune. Worth the risk though for sure right?" reflects Simon.

Simon is right – it was totally worth the risk! Compared to iconic acts like Kate Bush and London Grammar, Faint Line combines synthetic and instrumental elements to create a rich soundscape that is both emotionally evocative and daringly innovative. Dorothy offers listeners layered vocals, orchestral nuances, and a potent blend of pop and indie, with occasional avant-garde moments that echo sentiments of pain, grandeur, and a dash of lo-fi horror.

The duo’s previous release Red Tide, clinched plays with BBC 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson, and was showcased by BBC Introducing’s Emily Pilbeam, catapulting Faint Line into the spotlight and culminating in a deal with Red Lantern Records. With Dorothy, Faint Line aims to deepen their imprint on the indie music scene, pleasing both existing fans and new listeners alike with their innovative sound.

Dorothy will be available on all good streaming platforms from October 20th.

MAD WASP RADIO CROSS POLINATION! MEET SOME OF THE WONDERFUL BANDS THAT SUPPORT US!

new single from The Far North - Home Sweet Home

Out today Friday 23rd June is the latest single release on Red Lantern Records from The Far North - Songs for Healing Hearts Vol 1, which is the Second release from The Far North following 2020 debut album Songs for Gentle Souls.

Lee Wyding wanted to continue the thread of writing directly like he did on SFGS and these songs are aimed at anyone who has obviously felt love, loss, hope and despair. Lee says the songs aren’t about anyone specifically per se but the feeling we all have when we fall in love, when we get our hearts broken, when we miss someone when we feel amazing we’re full of hope.

The one exception on the EP is the song Unplayed Guitar which he wrote in tribute to his friend John who passed away in 2009, The song basically states that his life meant a lot to me and you know I’ll never forget you, and your friends won’t either.

The second EP Songs for Healing Hearts vol two will hopefully be released in the winter and it will continue this vein of songwriting. There are a lot of songwriters that I admire and a lot of them like to tell stories and I’ve always tried to be that kind of songwriter. It doesn’t come easy to me so I only write about what I know and I know an incredible amount about heartbreak, sadness and loss.

But that’s not to say this is a sad record, because the underlying thread that holds all my songs together is the fact that there’s always hope, even if it’s a smile on the tube or it’s a happy text from someone that you like there’s always hope.
