Low Low Low La La La Love Love Love

Endings, beginnings, home recordings, birds & rodents.

In the Winter of 2003, Kelly Dyson was living and working in Carlisle, Cumbria, whilst collaborating long-distance with Ellis Dyson in Buxton, Derbyshire, on a long-term post-rock inspired musical project called (try-sept-er-uss). Over the months, Kelly was putting aside acoustic compositions that didn't feel right in context with the music they were working on at the time. Then, following a relationship break-up, Kelly upped sticks to Buxton and work began on these gentler, more introspective songs that would make up the debut album. A chance meeting in a local pub led to a friendship with Natalia Brightmore and her involvement in the music - and the band was born proper.

The recording process was quick and painless, Kelly and Ellis having already forged a studio relationship in (try-sept-er-uss). But unlike that previous incarnation, which involved studio trickery & sound manipulation, the Low Low debut was never going to be more than a sparse and naked recording - and is all the better for it.

When studio work was complete, Low Low self-released the album on their own label 'The Birds & the Rodents' through Shellshock distribution. After a number of low-key gigs including sharing stages with Regina Spektor & Six Organs of Admittance, chapter one was complete.

Three years, changes & Ends of June.

Three years down the line, and Ends of June is Low Low's second outing and first U.S. release - having signed a record contract with US indie label, Other Electricities. The album boasts twelve new, intimate tracks saturated in the same undeniable warmth and familiarity offered on their debut. Here, the music's immediacy and accessibility fails to wane even slightly, building upon the solid groundwork laid in the first album. Despite some line-up alterations, no element of overall sound is compromised as new paths are traversed with regards to instrumentation and arrangement.

Self-recorded and produced again in their bedroom studio, Ends of June showcases Low Low's progressive and deft grasp on songwriting. From the pensive yet infectious "The Way You Play," to the fluid lullaby "Happiness at the New Day," it's near-impossible to deny the resultant intrigue of each composition, and of the record as a whole. These songs beckon to be taken in again and again...
