Swedish, Stockholm based duo LOW-RES writes pulsating pop tunes influenced by 90s ambient guitars and analog synthesizers. They made their debut in 2021 with the full-length album ”Varför” featuring guest appearances by Jukka Rintamäki (Silverbullit) and Per Nordmark (Fireside) among others. A four-track EP "Du å ja" followed in 2022 with a refined sound of analog drum machines and Swedish lyrics.
Now they are back with the sequel to the debut album, a sister album called ”Därför” and their first on Adrian Recordings. It's out May the 5th with fist single ”Stigma” out Feb the 17th.
The 11 songs on ”Därför" drag you in, one by one, to a parallel universe where music from bygone eras, like krautrock, early electronic pop/rock and psychedelia, are alive and well and sounding as fresh as ever in modern-day Sweden. “Varför and Därfär belong together,” says LOW-RES. “Both records were written in the same vein and with the same approach: fast, creative and with many collaborations that colour the expression. We have a lot of fun making music and it works as an antidepressant. We just heard the term Art Therapy and that pretty much sums up why we do this.”
Physically the two albums will be bound together on a vinyl release combining the two albums to a double album. This beautiful enitity is also released May the 5th and can be pre-ordered here.
