Lowland

Higher than 5% of albums we've rated

The single showcases strong melodies but lacks cohesion across its varied tracks.

What we noticed

• — The title track 'High' features a driving guitar riff that dominates the verses and transitions into a soaring chorus.
• — The second track, 'Wishing for the Sun', employs a more subdued tempo with layered harmonies that create a reflective mood.
• — The final track, 'Women in Towels', contrasts the previous two by incorporating a more upbeat rhythm and playful lyrics.

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
