Lowertown announce new album & tour, share “I Like You a Lot”

Lowertown, the duo of Olivia Osby and Avsha Weinberg, have announced a new album, Ugly Duckling Union, due out May 22 via Summer Shade. Osby and Weinberg wrote, recorded, produced, and mixed the album, and Osby says, “I feel like Avsha and I have just been two misfits doing stuff together, and I feel like this music is for people like us—it’s for the misfit toys.” See the cover art and tracklist below.

The first single is “I Like You A Lot,” which they say “was written about the hope of a new crush, and the intoxicating feelings of admiring and fantasizing about someone from afar. Loving someone without yet knowing them, and being filled with the idea of the potential time spent together. This thinking can become obsessive and compulsive, almost like a sickness taking over the body, but maybe not in a particularly bad way. It is also about the insecurity and the uncertainty about these feelings being reciprocated or un-reciprocated.” Watch the video, directed and edited by Osby and Weinberg, below.

Lowertown also announced a North American tour, beginning on April 28 in Philadelphia and running through June, wrapping up at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom on June 27 with Holidays in United States. Tickets to all dates go on sale Friday, February 13 at 10 AM local, with presales happening now.
