An indie pop project unafraid to stretch and play with labels, LINE weaves singer-
songwriter sensibilities with multi-genre arrangements. After playing with a full band for

several years, vocalist/songwriter Maddie Batzli and guitarist/producer Charlie Koz are
releasing The Woodside Sessions EP as an acoustic duo in September 2025. This new
release centers vocals drawing comparison to Natalie Merchant, Enya, and Dolores
O’Riordan (of the Cranberries,) and arrangements reminiscent of Bon Iver and Sufjan
Stevens. As a queer songwriter, Batzli’s interest in exploring paradoxes extends to
playful stage aesthetics and poignant lyrics raising emotional and philosophical
questions, at once campy and achingly sincere. By sharing the vulnerability of holding
multiple truths, LINE aims to invite listeners to live more deeply into their own
experiences. From daring to acknowledge (and contain) multitudes comes much needed
space for possibility, rare in a time when pessimism and hope often feel like a binary.
