Hi Def Soft Core
Low Line Caller's soft core soundtracks
By Doug Freeman, 2:14PM, Thu. May 15, 2008
Last year, Low Line Caller added vocalist Marc Farina (of Black Before Red) to its lineup, accenting the group’s previous sweeping, Explosions in the Sky styled-instrumentals with a lyrical depth that pitched comfortably into its sound. The group still swells in epic and anthemic proportions, but tightly wound and subdued with a mellow drive. LLC recently wrapped work on its first EP with the new vocals, Hi Def Soft Core, which is available for download here. They're hoping to find a label to release it officially by the end of summer.
Low Line Caller has often added a visual element to live shows, with video projections accompanying the group’s performance. Along with the new EP, they've released three videos, all clips from black and white films that cast the songs in uncanny contexts. Watch the videos for "Heartstrings Playing Notes," "Built Over Gasoline,” and “Killing the Cool” after the break.
