ALBUM REVIEW: Low Girl - Is It Too Late To Freak Out?

‘Is It Too Late To Freak Out?’, Lowgirl’s greatly anticipated debut album, is almost too intimate to listen to. It holds the kind of material that Suzanne Vega would write about turning her head away from; yearning and hauntingly dark. 

At its root, it is pure indie, wandering around like a Laufey tune, stumbling into the gentle embrace of Adrianne Lenker. Yet there is something else that drives it, an electric pulse, a heartbeat that runs through it at 120bpm. It takes on the momentum of a Bloc Party tune at points, twirling the melancholy lyrics around, lifting them into something defiantly hopeful. 

Don’t let its vulnerability fool you, it is an album to dance to, to cry to, or to freak out to, and definitely one to enjoy.
