Press Release The Swedish electronic pop-noir trio LOWE is back with their third album EVOLVER. Their latest single BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT went straight to #1 on iTunes Alternative Charts in Sweden. The new album EVOLVER will be released on September 13th. In 2004 Swedish synth band LOWE released their debut album. It didn't take long before they gained international recognition through nominations for "Best song", "Best album" and took home the prize as "Best newcomer" at the Scandinavian Alternative Music Awards. They've made several tours that led to huge success outside Sweden, especially in Eastern Europe. Last year LOWE toured for the first time in USA and Canada. They were the first non-American band ever to appear on The Real Radio Show, live from the Times Square in New York. LOWE has been compared to artists such as The Cure, Kent, New Order and Visage, who they've also played with in London. In October LOWE is going on their second US-tour to promote the new album. LOWE is currently based in Stockholm and Berlin. With the success of BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT in the Spring, the much-anticipated new album EVOLVER will be released worldwide on September 13th. - EVOLVER is our darkest album so far, says Leo Josefsson, lead singer in LOWE. - A mixture of mono-synths and disco balls, bass player Rickard Gunnarsson explains. - It was time to discover new territories. We've been experimenting a lot with the sound and the songs even though EVOLVER is our most homo-genic album to date, says keyboardist Tobias Ersson.
Press Release "Mirage" is a dark electronic pop track with a disco beat. "ABBA meets DAF in a darkroom while Bowie and Kylie are sharing a bottle of Soviet champagne in the bar", says Rickard (bass guitar). The release contains a single version, a pounding remix by Swedish EBM-band Dupont and a classic 12" extended mix. The music style is "pop noir", a mix between electronic rhythms, melancholic harmonies and throbbing electric bass. "Synth for dandies and dandizettes ", clarifies Tobias (synthesizer). "Mirage" is the first part of our upcoming album concept "Evolver" which will be released track by track during 2010. "The idea behind 'Evolver' is that the album will grow over time, as we'll release the songs separately when they are finished", explains Leo (vocals). "The music will be transforming and shifting as we experiment in the studio and play live with our new material", he continues.
