Misterwives- Riptide

This is Lowland Hum's third full length album, Thin. The album was released February 10, 2017.

After four years of nearly constant touring we found ourselves in the first relatively slow season we’ve known since we began our collaboration as Lowland Hum in 2012. We spent the spring and summer of this year seeking health and clarity, and recording this family of songs using our minimal studio equipment assembled in a friend’s attic. It has been a necessary pause, and a gift, allowing space for our deepest collaboration yet. These songs are an unadorned illustration of this season of slow reorientation and we are thankful to get to share them with you.

Lowland Hum is Daniel and Lauren Goans.
All songs written by Daniel Levi Goans and Lauren Plank Goans. 
All songs © 2017 Daniel Levi Goans Music (ASCAP) 
Thin was engineered, produced and performed by Daniel and Lauren, and recorded in John's attic in Charlottesville, VA.
Additional vocal engineering by Jeff Crawford at Fidelitorium in Kernersville, NC.
Thin was mixed by Mark Nevers and mastered by Jeff Stuart Saltzman.
Artwork and embroidery by Lauren Goans.
Daniel plays guitars made by master craftsman and dear friend, Bob Rigaud.

A huge and hearty thanks to John McCray for generously sharing his attic with us, and to Alan Brilliant, whose friendship and support helped make this album possible and this season joyful.

“Do not forget the story of Icarus, who wanted to fly to the sun, and having arrived at a certain height, lost his wings and dropped into the sea. You will often feel than neither you nor I are what we hope to become someday…wanting in stability, simplicity and sincerity. One cannot become simple and true in one day. But let us persevere, above all let us have patience; those who believe hasten not.” - Vincent Van Gogh

Jenn Whiteman and Samantha Howard are RYVOLI, an indie-folk band based in Lexington, KY. Paying homage to the place they met and first collaborated, they derive their name from Rue de Rivoli, one of the most well-travelled streets in Paris, France. Focusing on tight harmonies and candid lyrics, this duo makes music influenced by artists such as The Civil Wars, Bon Iver, and The Swell Season.

Lowland Hum (Daniel & Lauren Goans) is making music that is decidedly quiet in the midst of our culture's present noisiness. The duo's self-imposed musical restraint provides space for their rich harmonies and skillful arrangements to fill rooms both large and small, and their sound is unmistakably their own. Following the 2019 release of their fourth full-length studio album Glyphonic, which garnered praise from NPR, No Depression, and more, the pair took their songs on a nationwide headlining tour where they employed the use of handmade lyric books, off-the-cuff songs and conversation with their audiences to create a refreshingly communal musical experience. 

Back in Virginia, Lowland Hum spent the fall & winter converting an old barn on their modest farmhouse property into a proper recording studio. They released their first home studio-born single, a cover of The Beatles’ “I Will”, in January, which found itself at the top of playlists on both Spotify & Apple Music, where the pair are regular fixtures. They will follow-up the release this spring with an EP titled Singing Other People’s Love Songs and a co-headlining tour with The Sea The Sea. The duo will also launch a Patreon page, which will provide a window into their prolific songwriting, Lauren’s visual art (she designs all of the band’s artwork), and daily musings from their life as touring artists and admirers of beauty. Lowland Hum is also launching Golden Hour, an experiential project with friends & collaborators David Wax Museum (look it up, you won’t be disappointed). 

In previous years, Lowland Hum has taken their hush-folk sound across the United States & Europe, sharing stages with the likes of Josh Ritter, Penny & Sparrow, Jesca Hoop and The Oh Hellos along the way - and 2020 will be no different. With new original music set to release this summer, Lowland Hum will hit the road once again. As NPR puts it, “if you love sublimely beautiful two-part harmonies, you’re not going to do better than this band.”
