It has received glowing reviews from Pitchfork, The Guardian, Iggy Pop (BBC Radio), David Byrne, amongst many others.

This evening at SOAS, as part of La Linea 2026 will be a sonic immersion, where, from 7.30-8pm, audience members are invited to participate in collective exercises, using singing as a tool for social healing. Join us at 7.30pm if you would like to participate in or observe this workshop, or from 8pm if you prefer only to hear the concert. Both parts of the evening will take place in the BGLT.
