Track Of The Day :: Lowlakes - Now, She Said

Now, what we're saying, is that this lead track from Lowlakes debut album 'Iceberg Nerves' is one to sigh for, so exquisite is its texture. Vocalist Tom Snowdon has described the September dropping work as one “listeners could escape to”, and that is certainly the case with 'Now, She Said'.

Snowdon’s haunting voice rides over a panoramic canvas of understated ethereal piano and shoegaze melancholy, with icy fingers to touch nerve endings down the spine.

Originally from Alice Springs in the central Australian desert, Lowlakes moved away from the city to record 'Iceberg Nerves' at the boutique Kunsthaus studio in Mount Eliza, on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria (produced by Manfred Kaindel). “Isolation and space is something Lowlakes constantly feeds off. We seem to find more room to think and create when we're away from the city," says Snowdon.

Now the band have relocated once more, to quiet isolation of the Alps in Vorarlberg, Austria to write new material and to play a series of European festivals, and several UK dates.
