Line & Circle Announce West Coast Tour Dates With RNDM

Line & Circle Announce West Coast Tour Dates With RNDM
Debut 7" Out Now On White Iris Records
 

Los Angeles-based Line & Circle's west coast tour with RNDM (featuring Jeff Ament from Pearl Jam and Joseph Arthur) begins this week. The tour kicks off at the Troubadour in Los Angeles on Wednesday and will make stops in San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and Vancouver. All tour dates are listed below. Line & Circle is touring in support of its debut 7" single "Roman Ruins" / "Carelessness" out now on White Iris Records. Head over to Stereogum to check out the new video for "Roman Ruins."

Line & Circle has come onto the national scene this year, having recently completed a U.S. tour with White Iris labelmates Electric Guest. These dates featured appearances at CMJ in New York City, including a live radio broadcast for KEXP. Video of the performance is now available on the KEXP website.

Line & Circle was born of the collaboration between Brian J. Cohen & Brian Egan -- natives of Akron and Dayton, Ohio, respectively -- who met in college before moving from the Midwest to Los Angeles. With the assistance of White Iris' Lewis Pesacov, who previously produced Best Coast's debut album, they took to the studio, along with a newly formed band, including guitarist Eric Neujahr, bassist Nathan Gammill and drummer Nick Cisik. There, with nods to early 4AD dream pop and chiming I.R.S. Records-era guitar rock, the group pared the songs to their essence---simple melodic phrases and hooky ostinatos that subvert the complications of the lyrics.

Recorded live, the resulting tracks Roman Ruins (side A) and Carelessness (side B) are soaring and dark and glittering and nostalgic, like the soundtrack to an epic coming-of-age story.
