Synth-infused alt-country pop, with epic songwriting coupled against Flaming Lips-inspired lunacy. Lowry's songs slide from elegant and touching to raucus and psychedelic, without ever losing track of their singular vision.

Details:
The moment you begin to think you understand Lowry, you're wrong. Who you think you know--the mild-mannered psychedelic folkie of the East Village acoustic scene -- is on a path to utterly demolish the conservative notion of singer-songwriterism.

To attempt to define an artist like Lowry within the confines of the written word is diffucult at best. His songs range from sprawling alt-country Neil Young-esque epics to psychedelically-irresistable pop numbers to solo songster folk tunes. The range seems daunting to describe, but to see Lowry on stage, or to hear Awful Joy is to witness an artist of decidedly singular master of his trade. The songs ebb and fl ow with rare consistency and verve, simultaneously stinging the nerve ends of indie rock, anti-folk, tweak-pop and americana.
