In Scottish folklore, Tam Lin was trapped by the fairie queen in the realm of spirits, only able to return to our reality through a series of monstrous transformations. Tam Lines's musical persona carries the same name and also inhabits an altered plane of existence.
A regular of London's underground scene, with a recent set at Supersonic Festival, Tam Lin makes music for the social media age, in which real selves and digital appearances maintain an uneasy
relationship.
Mutation is central to Tam Lin's music. They traverse the contradictory planes of this networked life, through degraded memescapes, ghostly chatrooms, and slick interfaces, trying to capture the dissociation, anxiety and joy of this split existence.
Drawing on diverse influences including Tricky, Death Grips, Coil and Chris Morris, Tam
Lin twists and glitches voltages to unique forms through modular synthesis, field recording and drum machines to create mutant, post-industrial soundscapes.
Tam Lin has ceaselessly morphed since the IDM ecologies of their 2021 debut LP, bug.albm. They have incorporated elastic percussion in Fever, cybernetic noise in Chaotic Conflations, field-recording manipulations in Nearly, and eerie sonic fiction in bluelightnospaceflattime, featured on BBC Radio 3's Late Junction.
This journey has culminated in Tam Lin's upcoming EP, Mutant Tangle, incorporating the eclectic styles of their earlier work into a suite of fizzy hooks, pressurised beats, and energetic disintegration.
