Lowry

What We Say:

Lowry holds many shapes and forms as a band and originally evolved from experimental Americana music, to a certain cinematic form of rock music. The authentic journey down the lyrical pathways that the band explores is guided patiently and with utmost care by the musicians involved. At times introverted and often tense, the music is the direct result of a reflection of the band’s experience. After independently releasing both a studio, as well as a live album in 2005, the band intensively toured up and down the East Coast gathering critical acclaim and a loyal fan base. Most of 2007 was spent recording their album, Love is Dead, which was released through Engine Room Recordings in the Fall of 2008. Also in the Fall, Lowry was invited to play at the All Points West festival in New Jersey alongside names such as Radiohead, Andrew Bird, Grizzly Bear, and Kings of Leon.

What They Say:

The Drought is “Deep and melancholy, yet enlightened and full of hope, Lowry’s Love is Dead breaks all the rules of indie rock and then manages to sound as approachable and alluring as The Shins.” – Skope Magazine

“The quintuplet’s indie folk/pop rock sound is both an amalgamation of and a divergence from a host of musical influences. The New Yorkers take bits and pieces from the likes of Death Cab for Cutie, Radiohead, Nada Surf, Nick Drake, and, yea, even Willie Nelson… After my second listen to Love is Dead, I realized that what makes Lowry so extraordinary is their lyrical rawness. Honest, Elliot Smith’s Basement on a Hill was the last album to resonate with me in such a way.” – Tracer Magazine

“Blending indie folk rock, pop and electro Americana, Lowry’s songs are moving and powerful… Tracks of the band’s latest album ‘Love is Dead’ break the mold in more ways than one… The group’s raw sound creates choruses that aren’t easy to get out of one’s head. The group is catchy and innovative and has the potential to make it big in 2009.” – Shut Up! Magazine
