Lowly - Hifalutin (2019) EN

Their second long play is covered with toxic green and filled with fantastically intriguing pop music. Lowly of the Danish Aarhus can safely be very proud of Hifalutin.

The band's music balances between pop-ish electronic and extravagantly avant-garde pop, the deep voice of the vocalist Nanna Schannong makes the listener's spine thrill not once and not twice during the album. Especially when she shows what she's able to and she does so without need for any complex music accompaniment (as in the moody Go for a Walk). The album;'s title means something like "pretentious", but I can'r see it here, for me there's only ambitious pop music that is both interesting and engaging. This is Lowly's strength, even when a track seems to be taken by the sweet pop, it suddenly becomes experimental in the very best of the word's meaning. And the best examples of this are tracks like Stephen and Staples.

And finally there comes Children and everything's settled. This track ends with spectacular, electronic finish with clear post-rock's ecstasy vibes. And it gets my vote for the song of the last month.

Hifalutin costs 7 GBP.
