1111 is born from destruction. The Madrid group formed by Fedra, Armas and ru0001 have just begun a new stage after discarding an album of 20 songs that we will never hear. From this radical movement emerges ‘La Línea de Puntos’, which could well be considered their first single due to the reinvention it represents. It’s the Song of the Day.
The music of 1111 (pronounced “one thousand one hundred and eleven”) is that of a generation inseparable from the Internet, with influences ranging from electronica and techno to jersey beat, Soundcloud hip hop and centennial pop. Here ‘The Dotted Line’ is framed, written as a flow of thought and in constant mutation.
1111 sees life as “a sheet of paper on which you have to cut along the dotted line,” according to Fedra. For this reason, in the lyrics they put themselves in hypothetical situations and wonder all the time what would have happened if they had acted differently. It is an immediate song, but one that gains layers with each listen thanks to its lyrics: “And if I went back without knowing you, I would have let you really know me.”
The second half of ‘The Dotted Line’ is a constant alteration of the base, which twists, breaks and distorts as Phaedra confesses to a crime that does not speak so much about him, but about the world: “I stole a wallet, I don’t know why I did it / The photo of her children, no money.” In the end, the phrase that could define the soul of the song: “If money fails, let love not fail.”
