New York / Atlanta based duo of Olivia O and Avshalom Weinberg releasing bedroom punk on the Dirty Hit label
Lowertown is the duo of 19-year-olds Olivia Osby and Avsha Weinberg, who first met in math class at their art high school in Sandy Springs, a suburb outside of Atlanta. Their friendship solidified when, in their junior year, they took a trip to Ottawa, Canada, where they started sharing their own demos and came up with a band name after an excursion to the the city’s Lowertown neighbourhood. They shared their first single, ‘George’, in 2018, and quickly followed it up with their debut LP, the endearingly lo-fi Friends. 2020 saw the pair virtually graduating from high school and signing to Dirty Hit, home to the likes of the 1975, beabadoobee, and Rina Sawayama, which released their Honeycomb, Bedbug EP at the end of the year – a promising showcase of the duo’s homegrown indie aesthetic, intricate melodies, and wry sense of humour.
