Users by Liin
"...synthy catnip with bells on.." Electronic Sound Magazine Issue # 43
LiiN is electronic production duo Neil Simons and Malo Ramsoir. Starting with a home studio, filled with classic 80s and 90s analogue synths, LiiN has crafted a unique sound over the course of the last two years, compiling thirteen original synth-driven tracks via W13 and E17, London.
Channeling the energy of electronic innovators such as Aphex Twin and John Foxx, combined with the melodic groove of the likes of Air and Röyksopp, LiiN have already self-released three EPs and seen remixes from French producer The Coward, Australian DJ MISTER7 and Benign Alien.
Users, LiiN's debut album, is released via Handheld Records 15.06.18.
"Their merge of analogue synths and instrumentation makes for music which has a fuzzy hum that glows like a valve, emitting a palpable warmth, while also the sharp elbows of glitchy hissing dig in to the ribs giving the songs their variance of texturing.
The bakers dozen, roughly fifty minutes, track LP can be enjoyed, equally, as a one stop night in with a few friends or each track individually popped like bubble wrap." Tim - Emergingindiebands.com

LiiN blooms with second album, 'Fentanyl Flowers'.
Ranging from introspective, kaleidoscopic and sometimes unnerving pieces to dance-floor ready tracks, this 11-track album has been coloured by some fortuitous interruption, enforced lockdowns and the highs & lows of birth & death along the way.
