Low Roar

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

Ryan Karazija is an artist-traveler. However, his journey through life and music is not just about himself. It is also for the listeners who find in Low Roar's music the path they want to follow, or a place that they have been looking for a long time. The story of Low Roar started at the other end of the world. On the cold, rough and absolutely magical Iceland. After moving to Reykjavik in 2010, Karazija turned to a more introverted and intimate sound. Being greatly influenced by local folk bands, the self titled debut album was released on November 1, 2011 by the independent label Tonequake Records. Second Album „0” released in 2014 was a breakt hrough. After a lot of great reviews, Low Roar went on tour around the world. The aesthetics of „0” was compared to Radiohead or Sigur Rós, mainly due to the increasingly sophisticated, sometimes almost epic sound. In addition to the classical instrumentation, Low Roar increasingly used synths and electronica. In 2017, the third album „Once in a Long, Long While....” was released. In many interviews, Karazija mentioned that his strongest inspirations while recording the album were his divorce and the life of an immigrant in Iceland. OIALLW release turned out to be yet another success. "ross.”, Low Roar's fourth album, was released in November 2019. The sound of the album brought back memories from the beginning of Karazija's career and was marked by strong influences of ambient and dream pop.

This time was not wasted. Ryan Karazija is back with a new album „maybe tomorrow”. It isperhaps the most poignant publication in the American’s catalog. The newest album was recorded with Mike Lindsay, Andrew Schepsand Ricky Linstrom. On „maybe tomorrow”, delicate and sleepy sounds become components of songs with apowerful emotional charge - from longing, through thirst, to helplessness and even fear. When you listen to the album track by track, you have the impression of entering one, extensive and engaging story.
