The Line of Best Fit is an independent online magazine based in London, concentrating on new music. [1] [2]
It publishes independent music reviews, features, interview, and media. Founded by Richard Thane in February 2007 and currently edited by Paul Bridgewater, the webzine's name derives from a song on Death Cab for Cutie's You Can Play These Songs with Chords. [1] [3]
Album reviews by the webzine are used for music review aggregate sites AnyDecentMusic? and Metacritic. [4] [5] The Line of Best Fit also publishes music premieres, exclusive live performances, podcasts, and playlists. [6]
The webzine has its own record label, Best Fit Recordings, [7] and since 2015, has hosted its own annual music festival in London, the Five Day Forecast. [8] It also presents a stage at SXSW. [9]
