Биография

After a decade of writing, recording and performing music in various bands and projects German multi-instrumentalist Paul Friebe felt it was time for something new. Inspired by the D.I.Y. ethos of bands like Wavves, Bass Drum of Death and Car Seat Headrest they decided to start Lowry Lane as a bedroom solo project in 2017. Lowry Lane's music combines catchy songwriting with a rough around the edges indie rock aesthetic and draws inspiration from a variety of artists all throughout indie and alternative music. Paul had always been fascinated by some musicians' ability to blend heavy alternative instrumentation with catchy melodies as exemplified by bands like Fugazi, Built To Spill, Pavement, Dinosaur Jr. or Neutral Milk Hotel. Lowry Lane's music also incorporates noisy and layered sonic landscapes in the vein of Sonic Youth, The Velvet Underground or DIIV and drastic dynamic changes inspired by Pixies and Nirvana. Some songs also feature more electronic elements like interesting drum machine patterns or synthesizers reminiscent of Joy Division, The Cure or John Frusciante. Paul has also named Lunatics On Pogosticks, The Babies, Gringo Star, Jaded Juice Riders, Jay Reatard, King Tuff, Ty Segall, Cloud Nothings, FIDLAR, Together Pangea, Skegss, Surf Curse, The Strokes and Kurt Vile as current influences.
