The Line (AKA Brian Dillon) – shares new single ‘Dear Entropy’

Electronic artist The Line hasreleased heartfelt new single ‘Dear Entropy’ via Strange Brew.

The Line is the pseudonym of Tipperary-born, Dublin-based musician and sound artist Brian Dillon, who feels that he has never quite been able to escape the line of identity that separates his life from the lives of others.

A member of Irish avant garde five-piece, Meltybrains?, he has worked with artists such as Talos, Sorcha Richardson, Loah, Kingfishr and Jon Hopkins. Dillon has performed at international festivals such as SXSW and Iceland Airwaves, with his music being featured in Q Magazine, Boiler Room and Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist. He has also worked as a professional sound artist and sound designer, including creating installations for Ireland’s Museum of Modern Art and The Wild Atlantic Way. Despite the earnestness of much of his musical output, Brian is great craic (he swears).

About the single, Dillon says, “‘Dear Entropy’ is a simple song, a love song, for my partner, Kate. Prior to meeting her, I had been perennially single for the vast majority of my adult life. And then I met Kate. I’ve written quite a few songs about her since I met her, but haven’t released anything before, and this is a pretty direct ode to love and the way that it changes your life’.

He continues, “Entropy is a scientific concept, most commonly associated with states of disorder, randomness, or uncertainty. Some scientists theorise that all of nature is driven by chaotic states of entropy, and this is my plea to the chaos and entropy inherent in nature to just leave me alone for a little while, so I can just be happy and content, to love and rest”.

An introspective single that draws from warmth and connection, The Line continues as a passionate project grounded in care and consciousness.
