Martina and James of Land Lines

Land Lines is an impossible decade, some gap in history where the tines of early electric pianos shimmer in echo chambers, baroque cellos thrum minor   chords,   and   modern   percussive   rhythms   build   with   surgical precision,  all  culminating  in  sparing,  angular  pop  melodies  that  find  new creative spaces in an otherwise overpopulated musical landscape.

Land  Lines arose  from  the  ashes  of Matson  Jones,  when  Martina Grbac, Anna Mascorella, and Ross Harada, regrouped and began crafting new  songs.  After  releasing  their  self-titled  LP, Land  Lines, on  Denver’s Cash Cow Records, Anna left the group to attend graduate school; James Han,  who  had  been  recording  and  touring  with Nathaniel  Rateliff andGregory Alan Isakov, joined and helped shape the new sonic direction of the band.

Land  Lines  has  performed  at  venues  such  as  the Gothic  Theater, Boulder   Theatre,   Red   Rocks   Amphitheater,   and   most   recently performed their own songs with The Colorado Symphony at Boettcher Concert  Hall.   Land  Lines  has  shared  the  stage  with  artists  such  as DeVotchka, Nathaniel Rateliff, Esme Patterson and Black   Heart Procession.
