Intimate, haunting, and swirling with atmospherics, Lowlakes’ music has a sense of the cinematic. Their marriage of shoegaze, alternative and dream-pop is dark with imagery of midnight, wintry landscapes- punctuated by bone-chilling waves of frontman Tom Snowdon’s voice.

Originally hailing from Alice Springs in the central Australian desert, childhood friends Snowdon, Bill Guerin and Jack Talbot formed Lowlakes with Brent Monaghan in 2011 after relocating to Melbourne.

Lowlakes made waves with the release of their 2012 eponymous EP, and after performing at the prestigious CMJ Music Festival in New York in October 2012, and with European Tours penned in for May and October/November Lowlakes’ haunting sound is digging a footing all over.

Their debut album is due for release in February 2014 with the first single due to drop very shortly….

Until then here’s a little teaser of what’s to come.
