Stevo286 A wonderful warm slice of electronica. Their finest release to date. Such a refreshing change from whats out there at the moment. Favorite track: Becoming Bear.

spennyh both this EP & their album are excellent. Dream pop, synthwave at it's finest. Just sublime !!! Favorite track: Last Transmission.

timo jalkanen To me every Lines of Flight song is an instant classic. This EP is stunning and a perfect progression from their debut album. Breaking The Line is devastatingly beautiful and like so many of their melodies, transports me to another world. Sublime.

1.	Becoming Bear 03:47	lyrics	buy track
We borrowed your still-hunting tactics A birth lair in snow at our fate We turned on your natural instincts Self-killing guns loaded with bait We borrowed your still-hunting tactics A birth lair in snow at our fate We turned on your natural instincts Self-killing guns loaded with bait Move slow move slow Keep the wind in your face Survey the land, smell the air You're housed and human We're becoming bear We made deals for your preservation As the cold war clung at our chests We traced you with satellite broadcast And the chemical lives you ingest Rain-run polar sun It's the sense of place Survey the land, smell the air When housed I'm human You're becoming bear Becoming bear Becoming bear Becoming bear You're becoming bear Move slow move slow Keep the wind in your face Survey the land, smell the air You're housed and human We're becoming bear Becoming bear Rain-run polar sun It's the sense of place Survey the land, smell the air When housed I'm human You're becoming bear Becoming bear Becoming bear Becoming bear Becoming bear
2.	Left to Find 03:54	lyrics	buy track
Please don't leave me here I cannot move I have nowhere else to go I did not build these walls I said, The darkness is no hiding place You said, How did my world grow so very small Polar sun sets across this dwindling floe Deserted shelter, desolate home As I am reflected in your brown eyes You said, There are no hiding places left to find. We've been left behind We've been left to find You said, I've been left behind all my life There are no hiding places left to find We've been left behind We've been left to find You said, I've been left behind all my life All my life All my life All my life
3.	Last Transmission 03:42	lyrics	buy track
It's the silence that breaks your heart Is there anyone out there Broadcasting live, Ac65 I know that when you lie awake tonight That we won't both see the same stars I'm fighting to keep the connection alive I fear it's fading fast Somehow hear me calling you Station to station Are you receiving me, over This is my last transmission Can you hear me calling you Station to station Are you receiving me, over This is my last transmission Power down, wheels up I've left, data compromised Abandoning my post so Finally we will look up the same skies But when we lie awake at night And we still can't see the same stars We'll know the damage silence has done It tore our together apart So now, hear me calling you Station to station Are you receiving me, over This is my last transmission Can you, hear me calling you Station to station Are you receiving me, over This is my last transmission So now, hear me calling you Station to station Are you receiving me, over This is my last transmission The silence broke my heart Tore our together apart The silence broke my heart Tore our together apart Tore our together apart This is my last transmission My last transmission My last transmission My last transmission My last transmission
4.	House of Bears 04:31	lyrics	buy track
Sometimes I see your face in decaying windows Before my eyes as I fall asleep I look at every picture of my life And still the House of Bears stays with me Stay with me Disguised in the glacial mist I'm hiding to stay alive They can't hunt what they don't think exists If they can't see us, we can survive Desire destroys what you love Conquers lands where you don't belong Technology won't save you from me We'll be here long after you've gone Buildings and cars and computers They'll crumble and crash You are not in our futures The human condition is not built to last Every picture still haunts me I know that we won't meet again Every picture taken Is now a moment that has come to an end Sometimes I see your face in decaying windows Before my eyes as I fall asleep I look at every picture of my life And still the House of Bears stays with me Sometimes I see your face in decaying windows Before my eyes as I fall asleep I look at every picture of my life And still the House of Bears stays with me Buildings and cars and computers They'll crumble and crash You are not in our futures The human condition is not built to last
5.	Breaking the Line 04:33	lyrics	buy track
You weren't listening to understand More to monitor I never cared what our neighbours said Caught behind the curtain, when it fell You simply walked away And left me to face our deadliest foe Spirits before my eyes Despite your wiretapping paranoia and my spies We were so globally blind Tell me what I need to know I need you More than ever I'm here, don't say it's too late Please, let it be now or never So I sit amongst the rusting barrels Waiting for your future to catch up with your actions You captured the world in my eyes We've been so globally blind Tell me what I need to know I need you More than ever I'm here, don't say it's too late Please, let it be now or never Tell me what I need to know I need you More than ever I'm here, don't say it's too late Please, let it be now or never Tell me what I need to know I need you More than ever I'm here, don't say it's too late Please, let it be now or never

about

This is the sophomore release by Lines of Flight. It follows their previous album Signs of Life.

It is an E.P. of change, of progress, of development. It is an EP caught between the past and the future.
Standing in contrast to 'Signs of Life's reflective emotions, triggered by lockdown, 'More Than Human' begins the process of looking forward. They confront what is lying ahead. Lines of Flight explore what humans do to each other and why they do it; what we do to other animals we share the world with; and what humans do to the planet.

They saw loneliness, self-sabotage, isolation, paranoia and fear. They saw the natural world remaining here long after humans are gone. They saw the pandemic fade away and things returning to 'normal'. They saw that things won't ever be the same but that so much hasn't changed. We are creatures of habit, we are creatures of comfort, we don't change unless we have to, or until it is too late.
