2020 thrust upon all of us changes we never anticipated or imagined. We learned how to do Zoom meetings, home-schooling, and to cut our own hair. The pandemic forced us to take on new roles and learn new skills.
What started as part of an annual prank, stealing a friend's Christmas decoration, turned into something much more. On the fly we learned how to make a film. Much like 2020 itself, it was messy and new to us but we figured it out.
Line On Some Trip (L.O.S.T.) is a French/ Middle-Eastern hippie punk singer-songwriter and guitarist formerly based in Brooklyn, NY and freshly relocated in West Philly. Born and raised in the suburbs of Paris, in a muslim immigrant family from Syria and Palestine, Line travelled across Europe and lived in England, Italy, Scotland and Hungary where she found many human and artistic inspirations before moving to the US in 2014. With a soft voice that can turn into a storm of rage and strumming strings, Line tackles the topic of depression caused by the consumption society. She composes Post-punk and Antifolk sometimes psychedelic songs with simple and quirky lyrics full of irony. “Music is a tool that helps me tame my anger and achieve self and death acceptance.” https://lostmusic.bandcamp.com/
