Seek Warmer Climes, Lower's debut album, sparkles with the harmonic dissonance and high-strung urgency of their post-punk forebears. But the Copenhagen-based four piece also channel the romance and drama of great singer/songwriters, from late-period Scott Walker to Bryan Ferry. The result is a hugely ambitious and affecting rock album that enters deeply personal and unusual sonic and topical spaces. Lower have developed an inimitable record that secures itself in your head with lyrics that resonate like psychic warnings.
