“Lauren and Daniel sing in beautiful harmony”– NPR’s “All Songs Considered” First Watch
“It’s lovely, it’s beautiful.”—NPR “All Songs Considered”
Lowland Hum, the multisensory artistic collaboration of husband and wife duo Daniel Levi Goans and Lauren Plank Goans will self-release their first full-length album, Native Air, on August 6. The band then kicks off an East Coast tour on August 9 with an album release show at their beloved neighborhood bookshop Glenwood Coffee & Books in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The self-produced Native Air was recorded at Daniel’s parents’ home and mixed by Rick Parker, whose recent work with Lord Huron the pair admired. The album was funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign and was mastered by Brent Lambert at Kitchen Mastering in Carrboro, NC. NPR recently premiered the video to the song “War Is Over” which can be viewed HERE.
Although folk music is the primary medium of Lowland Hum, the band incorporates a curated multisensory experience to fully engage audiences during their live show. Inspired by Lauren’s independent design and publishing business, Florida House Press, the band seeks to seamlessly integrate visual, musical and even olfactory methods during performances. The duo create illuminated art installations to frame their performances, and distribute handmade lyric booklets and bread from local bakeries to cultivate a communal experience.
Daniel and Lauren met while Daniel was working on his solo album. Lauren quickly became one of his most trusted collaborators, ultimately singing on four tracks. Shortly thereafter, they married and formed Lowland Hum, writing and recording all of their songs collaboratively. The pair were drawn to the name as it alludes to “what is felt but not seen; the buzzing electricity underneath everything.”
