London band Kármán Line fuse together rock music influences with sprinklings of EDM and pop-like vocals. The British quartet have been working closely with Adrian Bushby, who is best known for his work with legendary bands including U2, Foo Fighters and Muse, are exclusively premiering their brand new single "Silent Destruction" right here on EARMILK.
"Silent Destruction" has rock styled undertones with chimey guitar riffs and an electro-style synth line that really pumps the track along. Lead vocalist Maja shows a terrific range, as she inspires hopefulness in the lyrics she sings through, whilst the rest of the band power through the rest of the track with expert precision and execution.
Kármán Line were recently named in The Guardian's 'Bands Of The Week' feature, gaining them even more publicity as they look to turn their ripples in the music industry, into waves. "Silent Destruction" is due to be released on 13th December, but until then you can stream the single below and also be sure to check the band out on Soundcloud and their other social network pages! - Ear Milk

Coexisting inside flowing tracks, lay electro-pop and rock influences as Kármán Line provide the audience with sounds that remind of glowing embers with the gently warming tones.
The easy rolling pieces wrap themselves around the ears as the synths are allowed spacious expanses in which develop, whilst the instrumentation keeps the sounds on an even keel. Kármán Line have balanced the combinations between exploratory electronics and arrow precision bass / percussion to deliver music which has many layers for the listener to enjoy. I haven’t thus far mentioned the vocal, which is the ingredient that, strangely, adds an ethereal feel to the over-all output.
An engrossing three track eponymous single which came out at the end of last year, sadly, hasn’t so far given Kármán Line the increased visibility they deserve. I look forward to hearing more of the quartet over the coming months and wish them every success. - Emerging Indie Bands

"...there's a propelling energy to the London bands' blackened new wave, with some real substance beneath all the polished, chimey guitars and belting vocals." - The Guardian
Everything you need to know about Kármán Line can be found in their music.
Each member left their native Slovenian, Scottish or English homes behind to head for the streets of London to find like-minded musicians to make some sounds.
After experimenting for months trying to get the sound in their heads to pass through old and battered bits of gear, guitar stomps and various electronic gadgets, the band finally started capturing their music to tape which quickly grabbed the attention of some music industry leeches.
With the helping hands of Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, U2, Muse), the self titled Kármán Line EP was welcomed by music journalists and fans as something fresh and exciting. The blend of Pop, EDM, and Rock is leaving bloggers puzzled where to pigeon hole the quartet.
Hopping straight out of nowhere into The Guardians’ ‘Top 5 Breaking Bands’, Kármán Line are definitely the ones to watch in 2014.
