Low Roar - Ross. (Yellow Vinyl)

Great art has always incubated in human isolation. Low Roar-the musical vision of Ryan Karazija-alchemizes those moments of solitude into an album of glacial modern pop anthems. As a songwriter, Karazija has always understood that far from being antithetical to universality, honoring your personal experiences as unflinchingly as you can, is intrinsic to it. It's a record about the sometimes uneasy relationship between physical and emotional distance. Ryan has made a habit of documenting his life in honest songs that can swell your spirit or break your heart at any time. This fourth album, ross., perfectly honors the core sonic ideals at the heart of Low Roar with expansive atmospherics and a soft neon pulse of electronic beats through which minimalist arrangements and acoustic textures move.
