Overwhelm (It's Over)

A 1 track ambient single (6m 5s) — released November 7th 2025 on Diskotopia

'Overwhelm (It's Over)' is the lead single from the new A Taut Line album "Self-Surveillance". The track is heartbreakingly beautiful granular ambient serenade on a Benoît Pioulard or Loscil tip, inspired by the late greats Ryuichi Sakamoto and Harold Budd.

Self-Surveillance is the seventh full-length album from A Taut Line, the primary solo moniker of Tokyo-based artist, producer, creative director, and Diskotopia co-head Matt Lyne.

A Taut Line has long occupied the spaces between genres and moods, but here those boundaries dissolve completely — leaving something raw, intimate, and unmistakably human.
