Lowsunday
Originally known as Low Sunday Ghost Machine, Low Sunday Ghost Machine recorded one album and put it out themselves in 1996. After shortening the name to Lowsunday, their lone album, Elesgiem, was released through Projekt Records in 2001.
A distant but vibrant sound is heard from "Wallpaper Room" to "Dissassembly" on Elesgiem. Goregous walls of sound are filled with vocal and guitar melodies that entice the listener into a state of noisy euphoria.
From Alternative Press, volume 16, number 164 March '02
Lowsunday are not your typical Projekt band. While the atmospheres on Elesgiem occasionally parallel those of other bands on the darkwave label's roster, the quartet's erudite energy will appeal to longtime Anglophiles (think Catherine Wheel or House of Love), shoegazer fans and gothic contingents alike. The fact that such a thoughtful band are headquartered in a city where decrepit classic rock continues to loom large make Lowsunday even more special. "It's a dilemma," admits singer-guitarist Shane Sahene. "When we play out, the appeal is getting to hang out with all of our friends. Being with people you love is the most important thing. Sometimes culture needs to take a back seat." [JP]
Simply put, Lowsunday are modern indie rock brilliance. They fuse melancholic 4AD type textures with catchy pop melodies that instantly hook you, and from then on there is no point in even trying to escape the smoky wonderland created by this band, and you won't want to. Their alluring melodies and arrangements are so inviting. They have great potential, and they have the chance to be THE band to usher forth a mainstream interest in gloomy pop.
