Lowah – “Double Sided”

/

Brooklyn-based artist Lowah crafts a chilly synth-pop allure on new single “Double Sided,” infusing calming piano tones and sparkling synth adornments. The project represents the work of Vince Simpson, who notes that the track was “inspired by infrequent family visits that seem to get a little bit smaller each time.”

References to a “natural progression,” signal an added enthusiasm in the vocals, as sporadic bursts of keys show alongside ruminating percussion. Glistening synth arpeggios take hold at mid-point, building seamlessly back into the initial quaintness and “I’m undecided,” admissions. Trickling water effects add to the caressingly melodic sound, marking a surefire success from Lowah.

The track comes via the newly released album Anything Anymore:
