A QUICK Q&A WITH FRASER HEARTLINE
Our gal Ashlee had a e-chat with Fraser from Heartline for q quick Q&A about their latest EP ‘i call for the sinking warmth’
Firstly, congratulations on the release of the EP! What was some of the inspiration behind ‘i call for the sinking warmth’?
Thank you! Most of the inspiration came from personal issues at the time, there was just so much frustration we wanted to release through music.
Can you walk me through the creative process that you went through to produce the EP?
So first our guitarist Fraser started working on the structures and textures throughout 2019 and 2020, and then our vocalist Luke was able to begin building the lyrical content.
This is probably a tough one…but what’s your personal favourite song off of the EP?
Personally, I (Fraser) think under the willow is my favourite overall, just because it sounds so unique and it’s such an important turning point on the EP.
You guys were added to the Adelaide show as one of the support act for Belle Haven’s ‘Nobody Likes A Hospital’ tour. How did it feel to play these new songs live?
Amazing! We’ve spent so much time creating a live show that does these songs justice and to see people really get into it was heart-warming.
I know it was only released a few days ago but how has the response been so far to ‘i call for the sinking warmth’?
So special. We’ve had so many messages and people really seem to like the whole thing. Knowing that it is connecting with people has made all the work worth it for sure.
Who are some of the Aussie acts you’ve been listening to right now?
Northlane, Thornhill, Void Of Vision and Windwaker are our favourites, but for a bit of a different vibe we can’t go past Up Late and Ecca Vandal, they’re crushing it.
What can we expect for the future of Heartline?
Lots of music, sooner than you think. We’ve been busy. And of course hopefully some tours before the year is out!
