If this item in stock, then you will get an infomation E-Mail!Canadian electro mainstay Lowfish, lets loose a preview of his forthcoming >Hypersensitivity< full-length. Lowfish is Gregory De Rocher, and barring last years >Memories…< album, a compilation of vintage archive recordings, this double-A-side 7 inch is actually the first new Lowfish release since 2008. While his last 2 albums could best be described as serene and clinical, electro at its most austere, Lowfishs return to Suction Records, the label he co-runs with Solvent, also marks a return to a more melancholic electropop sound.
This is not new territory for De Rocher, but it’s been a while since we’ve heard this kind of direct, fragile emotion from Lowfish. In fact, with their slow, head-knodding 808 beats and wistful synthesizer melodies, these songs could best be described as electro-ballads. “A Little Thing Gets By” is almost cute, until the strings fade in - pure heartbreak. “Hello Tinnitus” meanwhile, is the most pure slice of synthpop that Lowfish has delivered since 2002’s “Theme to Parked Cars", a firm Lowfish fave for many.[suction023_info from wa]
