'Catchy and innovative' -  ***Shut Up Magazine***

'If Ok Computer is what happened when Britpop decided to listen to progressive rock, Love Is Dead is its Americana counterpoint' *** Online Rock***

'Impressive and satisfying, Lowry lives in his own make-believe world. . . in no uncertain terms'  ***Mishmash Magazine***

'Breaks all the rules of indie rock'  ***Skope Magazine***

'Simply, gorgeous'  ***Burgos Blog***

'Unclassifiable.. meticulously crafted'  ***Atlanta Music Guide***

'Pushes established boundaries with alarming ease' ***Creative Loafing***

'Strange and beautiful as any acid excursion' ***The Pitch Weekly***

'Timeless and groundbreaking . . . the further Lowry disappears into his own head, the better off we are for it' ***Block Magazine***

'Stripped of self-consciousness and pretension' ***Chicago Innerview Magazine***

'An unadulterated and immediate joy'  ***Americana UK***

'New and vital' ***Daily Vault***

'Lush and orgasmic at times, it has the feel of universe building and all the absurdity that goes with it' ***The Reader, Omaha***

‘Do you have a favorite New York celebrity sighting or encounter? I almost ran over Kevin Bacon with our tour van in midtown once. I played guitar with Jose Feliciano at a coffee shop on the upper east one night. At least, I'm pretty sure it was him.’ - ***The Gothamist***

‘After I played "Whiskey," the first track from Lowry's sophomore album, Love Is Dead, my sister said, "Wow, this song has no structure." I responded, "that's exactly why I love it." I get so tired of verse, chorus, verse and predictability in general, that a little anarchy in typical song structure is refreshing. It's not like we were breaking down a Botch album though, this is a magnificently fresh neo-folk indie-pop band from New York. 

The quintuplet's schizophrenic nature is also their allure. If you took each song or melody at face value it would be easy to dismiss them as a Death Cab For Cutie or Nada Surf cover band. But once you collage the randomness of the Grandaddy-esque keyboard arrangements or Mates of State-like female melodies it begins to take a life all it's own. When you throw in some moments that are reminiscent of Paulson and Elliott Smith, Lowry have created one of my favorite albums of the year.’ ***Rabbithole***

‘Brooklyn’s Lowry creates resigned indie pop with hints of folk and electronica, blending quiet acoustic guitars, subdued banjo and hushed ambient effects. Frontman Alex Lowry’s plaintive, twee vocals on Love Is Dead should appeal to fans of Belle and Sebastian’ - ***Slant***

‘The overall sad, but beautiful tones and words are filled with emotional grit, reminding us that life is hard, messy, and almost always brutal. At least with Lowry’s lovely, honest sound streaming through your ears you can kick back for awhile and forget about all the first world problems we all have.’ - ***The Waster***

Press Release May 2018 (Germany)

Technically savvy, it's finely playful indie folk pop with unusual and surprising structures that build on the previously released albums "Awful joy", "Love is dead" and "Emporia".  Lowry's body of work embodies an incredible variety of ideas lyrically and musically.  The listener is exposed to a barely-exhaustible universe of ideas of singer and mastermind Alex Lowry. The bandwidth of sound finds its focus in the center between indie, alternative folk, pop and rock. 

Magic runs through the songs, 

The complexity of the music opens only after repeated listening, after which appears a real event.  With the new album "Night Movies at Beach 97", Lowry only furthers a refinement of musical style. Although this current focus is on rock, as singer Alex Lowry assures, the subtle elements of modern indie culture remain intact.

Alex Lowry is a mainstay on the New York indie scene, blending his seemingly limitless cauldron of ideas and creativity on stage into a fantastic musical spectacle. In doing so, he keeps gathering a number of great musicians who give the live sound a special touch.  A new live album titled "Live at Rockwood Music Hall" bears witness and also appears for the tour. Many new songs will feature the Brooklyn-based songwriter on this tour, adding another level of sophistication to the repertoire.

Technisch versierter, fein verspielter Indie-Folk-Pop mit ungewöhnlichen und überraschenden Strukturen schaffen auf den bisher erschienenen Alben “Awful joy” , “Love is dead” und “Emporia” eine unfassbare Vielfältigkeit und dem Zuhörer erschließt sich der kaum erschöpfbare Ideenkosmos von Sänger und Mastermind Alex. Die Bandbreite findet ihren Fokus im Zentrum zwischen Indie, alternativem Folk, Pop und Rock. Magie zieht sich durch die Songs , die Komplexität der Musik öffnet sich erst nach mehrmaligem Hören und wird zu einem echten Ereignis. Mit dem neuem Album „Night movies at beach 97“ werden Lowry ihren musikalischen Stil weiter verfeinern. Das Hauptaugenmerk legte die Band zwar auf Rock, wie Sänger Alex versichert, dennoch bleiben die feinen Elemente moderner Indie-Kultur erhalten.

Alex Lowry gilt in der New Yorker Indie-Szene als Genie, der seine scheinbar grenzenlosen Ideen und Kreativität auf der Bühne zu einem fantastischen musikalischen Spektakel verschmelzen lässt. Dabei schart er immer wieder eine Reihe großartiger Musiker um sich, die dem Live-Sound die besondere Note geben. Ein Live-Album mit dem Titel „Live on the LES“ legt Zeugnis ab und erscheint ebenfalls zur Tour. Viele neue Songs wird die in Greenpoint, Brooklyn beheimatete Band auf dieser Tour vorstellen und das Gesamtrepertoire noch einmal um eine feine Qualitätsstufe bereichern.

Eintritt frei. Hutspende erbeten.

Welcome to 432 HZ. We are a traveling roadshow featuring some of North America’s most intriguing and undocumented stories. Hosted by Alex Lowry, the material covers the swath of what many would consider the Americana fabric of our unique countryside. While cities will be visited from time to time, the content will focus primarily on the odd and unique aspects of the unexplored parts of the United States.

The show will be presented in both podcast, live streaming and full video production formats. It will feature people who would perhaps never be known and places that most will never visit. With a brand new world facing us in these trying times, Lowry hopes to present these stories in a new light and with a wide open mind and creative vigor.

The shows will feature interviews, full story telling segments as well as song and laughter. Topics will range from normal, everyday life to the wild and untamed. Nothing will be considered ‘off the table’.

For your story to be considered, please reach out here. Please include your name, your town and a brief description of why 432 Hz should visit you and tell your version of events. :)
