The French group consolidates its soul, rock and Americana roots in a liberating and timeless second album.
In 2021, Lowland Brothers, the first self-titled album from the group led by Nico Duportal (vocals, guitars, lyrics), Hugo Deviers (percussion, guitar, lyrics) and Max Genouel (bass, keyboards) built a unique transatlantic bridge between soul, rock and the woody sounds of Americana. “We have affinities with the African-American musical landscape, but our desire is to transport this baggage and take it elsewhere,” specifies the group from the West and North of France.
For A While
“For a While” is an epic soul song that takes you on a passionate journey. With themes of love, conquest, and determination, this piece relentlessly moves forward to the rhythm of saturated toms, emphasizing that it is pointless to forget oneself. The moist and punchy sounds bounce, while the keyboard theme evokes the legendary Ethiopian music of Mahmoud Ahmed, Mulatu Astatke, and Girma Beyene. The chorus, reminiscent of the harmonies of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, lights up every moment with contagious energy. “For a While” is a musical experience where every note resonates with palpable intensity and emotion, inviting you to dance and feel every nuance of this sonic adventure. |
