about

Amidst the ongoing pandemic, which has left queer people’s lives in greater precarity and threatened trans rights: trans non-binary artist, El Hardwick, has collated a release to raise funds for QueerCare.

Desire Lines Vol. 1 is a 10-track compilation featuring new compositions by YaYa Bones, Mabe Fratti, Arushi Jain, Flora Ocean Parkin, BORA, Dolphin Midwives, Nailah Hunter, Vida Vojić, Mìch Cota/Kìzis, and El Hardwick themselves.

All proceeds will go to QueerCare, which provides “transfeminist autonomous care, training, support and advocacy for queer people in the UK”. Its services include suicide intervention, helping queer people access medication and services that can help them, writing evidence-based protocols for mutual aid groups, giving first-aid training at protests, and much more. — queercare.network

El Hardwick says “Spending time in nature and listening to ambient-influenced songwriting has helped me considerably in healing my chronic pain. Desire Lines formed from a passion to create a collaborative, queer space, outside of nightlife, that heals through connecting with nature and music — which I hope in the future will expand into IRL hangouts in nature, and other creative projects.”

The tracks combine minimal harp melodies, layers of choral vocals infused with Indian classical music, pulsating synths and atmospheric strings — creating a blissful dialogue that celebrates collective healing in queer communities.

Desire Lines is a series of occasional multidisciplinary projects that centre community healing at the intersection of music, art and ecology.
