New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The North Carolina based indie-folk duo Lowland Hum has released a new music video for their single "Odell." Channeling the song's exultant sound through poignant and evocative visuals, "Odell" paints a thematic portrait of personal liberation. It is now streaming on Nerdist, who writes, "This is the perfect visual metaphor for Lowland Hum's atmospheric brand of emotionally intelligent folk."
Lowland Hum was recently featured on NPR's All Songs Considered, where their new song "
Olivia" was premiered. "Odell" first debuted on Earmilk.
Daniel and
Lauren Goans began performing as Lowland Hum not long after they married in 2012. Making the most of their combined voices, a guitar, a drum, and two custom-made stompbox/tambourines, Lowland Hum became known for their enthralling live shows and a songwriting style that moves beyond the genres they inhabit. Illuminated installations and hand-bound lyric books have also made their way into the duo's live performances, incorporating Lauren's background in visual art.
Coming off the heels of last November's Four Sisters EP, their new record intertwines folk, indie-rock and Americana as a foundation for their entrancing vocal harmonies. The album was mixed by
Peter Katis, who previously produced records for The National, Interpol, Frightened Rabbit, and Jónsi. Fans who pre-order Lowland Hum on iTunes, will receive an instant download of "Odell" and "Olivia."
Though the songs of Lowland Hum began with one acoustic guitar and two voices, many grew in size and scope while the band recorded at a small studio outside Charlottesville, Virginia.
Daniel and
Lauren enlisted the help of good friends Edd Kerr, Joseph Dickey and Dan Faust (as engineer, bassist and drummer) to allow the songs the kind of expansion they were hearing in their imaginations. Dickey and Faust will join Lowland Hum this spring as the band embarks on a five-week tour, resuming their roles as the supporting rhythm section behind
Daniel and Lauren's vocal-driven live show.
