Independent Artist Of The Week: Lower Plenty
December 12th 2016
Tanya Bonnie Rae
Gritty, nostalgic slow jam ‘Bondi’s Dead’ is the new single from Lower Plenty’s fourth album, out via Bedroom Suck Records.
Lower Plenty seamlessly combine laid-back, grungy vocals with delicately evocative, wistful acoustic guitar. The band, named after a suburb of the outer fringes of Melbourne, draws together musicians from Total Control, The UV Race and Deaf Wish.
Their music carries both a sense of calm and restlessness with it, a reflection of the rarity in which the band meet (in between tours and other jobs) to record new music. Lower Plenty’s home recordings combine their talent for self-reflection and introspection on their soon-to-be-released album, Sister sister. Relaxed and refreshingly real, they’re the kind of band that would fit right in on the Juno soundtrack.
