Album Review: Lowlakes - Iceberg Nerves

Dylan Stewart

Lowlakes may appear a little too serious for their own good at times, but Iceberg Nerves is sure to strike a chord deep inside.

Listening to the dark, ethereal sounds of Lowlakes for the first time gives the impression the group arose in a town like Berlin, New York City or Reykjavik. To then discover they hail from Alice Springs – via Melbourne – is somewhat surprising. Their debut album is seductively paced, a rich tapestry of analogue and digitised instruments bringing to mind the wintry landscapes dreamt up by Sigur Ros, but giving them a reality; an immediacy. Lowlakes may appear a little too serious for their own good at times, but Iceberg Nerves is sure to strike a chord deep inside.
