The follow-up to last year's If You Could Have It All Again, features more delicious alt-pop abstraction, and will be out on November 4th via their own label Emotional Interference. Pre-order your copy here.
Moving on from the promise of their debut, ‘Life In Miniature’ aims to overhaul their methodologies, while remaining true to their melodic instincts. Low Island label it a “sonic photo album; a journey through three years of accelerated change that felt like a lifetime…”
Lead single "Can’t Forget" is beholden to a languid groove, blending into a bombastic chorus that takes cues from Tame Impala and Foals. Throughout it is underpinned by the melancholic optimism and idiosyncratic production that has come to define Low Island’s sound, with space for a brash, spiraling guitar solo, rarely unleashed from their arsenal. This clash of old and new techniques echoes the sentimental approach towards recognition of the past whilst gazing forwards.
As singer Carlos Posada elaborates: “it’s a reflection on the headyness of youth and a fear of growing up. Verse 2 is a nod to the day I left home; as I drove down the street, I caught my Dad crying and waving me away in the wing-mirror of my car. It’s one of those memories that gets printed right onto the front of your mind and that you never forget.”
The track comes with artwork born out of a collaboration between Low Island, creative director and sculptor Freya Douglas Ferguson, photographer Brian Rankin and floral artist MOS, alongside a live video directed by the band themselves.
