Review

Few debut albums sound as lived-in as Lowgold's Just Backward of Square, which has a depth of thought, a wealth of experience and an aching that most acts take decades to find. As it is, the four--who sound like they are straight out of the Midwest but come from England's Poole, St. Albans, and South London--got it just so the first time around. By rights, their somber road-movie rock should be both demoralizing and depressing; certainly, there's very little to smile about in lyrics like "Make the most of today/ For beauty dies young" ("Beauty Dies Young") and "My lungs may be bleeding/ So I breathe in mercury/ Decay" ("Mercury"). But there's also a hint of hope and a glint of optimism in Darren Ford's voice as he sings these songs of introspection, and there's positive and reassuring power to the dragging guitars and plodding bass. That there is hope in the darkest tunes is where the maturity and magic of Just Backward of Square lies. It took Blur a decade to discover the secret of soul-searching, country-folk rock, and still they can't hold a candle to this. --Dan GennoeDebut full length for UK indie act winning raves in NME and Melody Maker. Tracks include, 'In Amber' off their debut '108 EP' and their second single, 'Beauty Dies Young'.
