In 2005 "Lowe" rushed into the playlists of many belarussian music-lovers with their debut electro-pop album "Tenant". The release seemed to be a perfect one, where each song could be a hit. And we were so lucky to get 5 singles, 4 videos and a fantastic show in Minsk in 2007.
And now "Lowe" is backwith a new record "Kino International"! But it seems to me that they have never disappeared from the musical horizon, releasing singles, shooting videos and touring a lot. This swedish pop-noir band enlisted the support of gained fan base, new frineds, old frineds from "Rezonance", Tobias Ersson and Sebastian Aberg, and decided to try the experiment way despite of conservating in sound, found on "Tenant". "Lowe" represented the release full of different music variations, the mix of synth-pop, electro-pop and indie.
A year have passed since our last meeting. And before "Lowe's" concert in Minsk. I had a chance to talk to Leo and Rickard about "Kino International", their label "Megahype" and the recent tour...
This band doesn't have to be introduced. "VNV Nation" is futurepop style in the flesh. And Ronan Harris, the frontman of the band, was one of those who first voiced this term "futurepop". Their songs are full of energy, feelings and just life in all its manifestations. That's why "VNV Nation" has a massive and strong fanbase.
This time during «Electronic Set» tour «De/Vision» visited St. Petersburg as usually. Right there our conversation took place just after the fabulous anniversary show.
Inspire of the sad dark lyrics, the author, Thomas Adam, turned out to be a very positive person and though it was late the interview appeared to be pretty long...
In spite of obviously successful debut album, “Lowe” is still giving interviews gladly, communicating and playing tricks on others and themselves.
This time “Lowe” came to Moscow directly before the concert, that’s why we were having a conversation in the dressing room to the soundtrack of the support band “Haloed Ghost”. The atmosphere was completely inofficial and friendly.
