Based in Guelph, Ontario Lowlands‘ draw inspiration from dreamscapes, folklore and the stark, harshness of the Canadian landscape. The Instrumentation of the group is perfectly supported the co-songwriting of Gordon Auld and Abe Del Bel Belluz. With the support of local musicians and songwriters Matt Monoogian and Joseph Gallo Jr. The band brings their dark and unique blend of country, delta blues and bluegrass into venues across Canada, singing songs with a raw, disarming vulnerability. With their first full-length release of “Huron” the group plan to release a record dedicated to each great lake and are following through with the much anticipated release of “Erie” on which comes out on October 28, 2016 but we are lucky enough to premiere it exclusively here. Check out the lead single, ‘Run’ which was premiered on Live in Limbo on October 19th.
The 10-track album eloquently investigates the dynamics of human relationship; connecting the quest for answers in our day-to-day with the intrigue and vastness of natural phenomenon. The album floats with a weary grace, finding peace in the unknown.
Erie features production by The Wooden Sky lead-vocalist, Gavin Gardiner. At the helm, Gardiner offers a wide palette of sonic colouring, deepening each song’s exploration. While limiting overdubs and encouraging a live off-off-the-floor recording process, the album shines through the maturity and subtlety of the band’s performance; lending a confident but delicate foundation for the croons, yelps and pensive cries of singer Gordon Auld’s poetic vocals. As Gardiner notes on first finding intrigue in the project, “I was drawn in by the power and timelessness of Gord’s voice, both as a singer and songwriter”.
