”Like a dramatic wave, this Stockholm band rises, crashes, dissolves and repeats with overwhelming sonic sincerity - A seamless meld of analog and digital intentions that oblige you to wave back, dance, swim or dream”

“Swedish post-punk duo bring their brand of art therapy to darkwave music. On one hand, you have a rustic raw rock edge where the guitars and vocals are spitting angst and drama at you. On the other hand, you’ve got cascades of synths about light fireworks that kick off a party.”

With their highly-praised outings ‘Makeup’ and the explosive Johan Hinders of Audionom collaboration ‘Stigma’ cementing them as one of the more exciting names doing the rounds right now, Swedish duo LOW-RES now deliver the final cut to be lifted prior to their forthcoming new album ‘Därför’, the pulsing new offering ‘Kitchen’.
Collaborating with Maria Pettersson and Calle Olsson (Paper, Paddington DC, The Bear Quartet) for the release, ‘Kitchen’ makes for a wonderfully broad and atmospheric listen. Channelling another heady dose of that vibrant post-punk energy they have showcased throughout these last few months, their latest endeavour adds another fresh and vital addition to their eagerly-awaited new full-length.
Speaking about the new offering, they said, "Kitchen is about driving up the country, playing music together and being nervous about socialising.
The song developed through a number of steps. First the music was written by LOW-RES, then lyrics, vocals and synth overlays by Maria and Calle and finally flute and mix by Konie (Viagra Boys, Les Big Byrd, The Soundtrack Of Our Lives etc)"
Stockholm-based duo LOW-RES write pulsating pop tunes influenced by 90s ambient guitars and analog synthesisers. They made their debut in 2021 with the full-length album ‘Varför’ featuring guest appearances by Jukka Rintamäki (Silverbullit) and Per Nordmark (Fireside) among others. A four-track EP ‘Du å ja’ followed in 2022 with a refined sound of analog drum machines and Swedish lyrics.
The eleven songs on sister album ‘Därför’ drag you in, one by one, to a parallel universe where music from bygone eras like krautrock, early electronic pop/rock and psychedelia are alive and well, sounding as fresh as ever in modern-day Sweden.
“Varför and Därför belong together,” says LOW-RES. “Both records were written in the same vein and with the same approach: fast, creative and with many collaborations that colour the expression. We have a lot of fun making music and it works as an antidepressant. We just heard the term Art Therapy and that pretty much sums up why we do this.”
Physically the two albums will be bound together on a vinyl release combining the two albums to a double album. This beautiful entity is also released on the 5th May and can be pre-ordered now.

Kitchen
You can sleep
and I'll drive
Stop by a gas-station
I've known since I was nine
We are going up north
We got The Magnetic Fields
In a small cottage
will you get tired of me?
We can play cards
and have a nice meal and
I'll show you the beach
There is
a little kitchen
We got
music equipment
There is

Will I get on your nerves?
I don't know you that well
There's old furnitures
There is a fireplace
It's October and rain
A weekend on our own
Do you like the woods?
Guess it's gonna get cold
The porch with it's view
There's a restaurant near by
We are not going there tonight
Because
