A line is a visual trail of energy that has been drawn across a surface and is a manifestation of the life energy of the person that made it.

The Line is the pseudonym of Brian Dillon, musician, sound artist, and member of Meltybrains? who shares his new record ‘Red Blood Cells & Righteousness’ today, Wednesday 1st November, via Strange Brew. This communally created record features some of the most exciting names in Irish music: Godknows, Sorcha Richardson, Dan Fox (Gilla Band), Sarah Corcoran (Pillow Queens), Caoi de Barra (Wyvern Lingo), Lullahush, Loah, and many more.

Brian is a member of Meltybrains? and has worked with a range of Irish artists over the last 10 years, including Talos, Loah, Brídín, and Lilla Vargen among others. He has performed at many international festivals such as SXSW and Iceland Airwaves, and his music has previously been featured in Q Magazine, Boiler Room, and Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist.

In recent years he has gleaned a great deal of experience from collaborating with a range of musicians, as well as artists from a number of disparate disciplines, including JFDR, Anna B Savage, Emma Martin (choreographer), Ellius Grace (director), Emmet Kirwan (actor/writer), Mark McGuinness (photographer) and Kate Dunne (aerialist).

The wealth of collaborative experience has led to the basis for his new project. Red Blood Cells and Righteousness is a communally created record built on the creative endeavours of Brian and a number of friends from within the Irish music world.

The 13-track collaborative LP focuses on the importance of community and communal values. The intention of the record was for the creative process to reflect the themes and content. As a result, each song was a collaboration between Brian and some of his favourite Irish musicians, friends and most erstwhile collaborators:
