Lowertown return with the forthcoming EP, Skin of My Teeth
Former Dirty Hit signees Lowertown have announced their new independent EP, Skin of My Teeth, alongside lead single “Bline".
Olivia Osby explains that "Bline" is “a song about insecurity, rejection, and old baggage inspired by my experiences of first moving to New York and London when I was 18-20 years old.” The song opens with a glitchy, haunting refrain from bandmate Avsha Weinberg.
The accompanying video finds the duo clad in eerie masks steeped in Harmony Korine aesthetics. The forthcoming EP is the band's first independent release since signing to Dirty Hit in 2020.
“This is our first project we’ve released independently since our first album, and that feels like a new chapter opening up,” explains Osby. “Things are gonna be just a little bit different with how we approach music—this is the first time in our lives where we feel a little bit settled-in and self-assured. As musicians, and just in life generally. We feel like we don’t have to prove ourselves as much.”
Lowertown formed in 2018, where Osby and Weinberg met as high school classmates, bonding over a shared love of lo-fi indie. They quickly signed to Dirty Hit, embarking on tours with Wet Leg, Porches, and their friends & label mates beabadoobee.
