    Seek Warmer Climes is itself predatory--but with a delicate, skeletal shudder, it turns that hunger into a lonely howl.

    This is a moody, angry, and soulful export from what modern anthropology insists is a happy-go-lucky area--Denmark.

    Adrian Toubro sings like every word causes him a jolt of pain, but his songs are literate and fine-crafted, reading like distilled existential dramas.

    The band demonstrates its growth from angst-driven punks to thematic artists (although still retaining enough angst) by having developed and refined their musical style, as well as further grasped the emotions that are intertwined within the songs’ depths.

    Lower stand out for their unique blend of cathartic explosions and restraint, creating something remarkably powerful in their use of dynamics and tense pacing.

    The occasional sense of compositional confusion makes sense: even if it doesn't always result in a thrilling listen, Seek Warmer Climes captures a promising band in transition.

    This band sounds like a ghost from the past ala Bauhaus especially, maybe with hints of Death In June and Christian Death. I love this kind ofThis band sounds like a ghost from the past ala Bauhaus especially, maybe with hints of Death In June and Christian Death. I love this kind of music and Lower does it very well. I like them much more then contemporaries Iceage who sound very punk/hardcore. ...this band has a more of a goth feel with warmer melodies, very poetic. A new generation emerges!… Expand
