Bella Union’s Lowly share a life-affirming new single ‘Keep Up The Good Work’ alongside news of a forthcoming album of the same name. Due for release through Bella Union on the 17th of February, the album is a product of the band’s collective journey and the closeness that comes with it. You can feel their affections for one another on the single and the in positive message that they choose to promote on it - a welcome and encouraging one. Soundtracked by serene synth sounds, pitch-shifted guitars and swooning bass, the lyrics shed light on the human experience and of loving unconditionally. The band explain: “We know each other really well after 8 years as friends, colleagues and collective creators. We know what we’re each going through in life, and we can hear it in the music we make together; it’s always a personal reflection of us in the given moment. You can hear that we’ve become older, that we have more to tell. During the pandemic we experienced both the joys of having children and the sorrow of losing people we cared for. Life and death struck us, you could say, which maybe seems rather banal or cliché to be writing about. But for that reason, we think this record speaks universally, and has the potential of resonating with many people.” Treat yourself to a listen here now. -Holly Mullineaux
