Keep Up The Good Work [LP]

Lowly, the internationally acclaimed quintet from Denmark, continue to develop their creative process, embracing other peoples' affection and letting it blend into their songwriting. The result of this journey: Keep Up The Good Work, the band's most heartfelt work to date. Sometimes the support we need doesn't lie in complex answers. Sometimes it can be found in the most simple encouragement. This reflection is embodied throughout their third album. This music has been forged within a maelstrom of lockdown restrictions and critical life events; often working together virtually, and eventually being together physically and writing and recording as a group. "We know each other really well after 8 years as friends, colleagues and collective creators. We know what we're each going through in life, and we can hear it in the music we make together; it's always a personal reflection of us in the given moment. You can hear that we've become older, that we have more to tell. During the pandemic we experienced both the joys of having children and the sorrow of losing people we cared for. Life and death struck us, you could say, which maybe seems rather banal or cliché to be writing about. But for that reason, we think this record speaks universally, and has the potential of resonating with many people." Lowly have been once again recording in Aarhus with producer and engineer Anders Boll, who also produced their two previous albums Hifalutin (2019) and Heba (2017). Anders has almost become the sixth member of the band, navigating five strong-willed musicians towards a kaleidoscopic and uniquely interwoven sound.
