Episode 7: Carlos Posada & Jamie Jay of Low Island

Summary: <p>This week, I’m super chuffed to share the hot seat with vocalists, multi-instrumentalists and producers Carlos and Jamie from shapeshifting indie-poppers <strong>Low Island </strong>ahead of the release of their masterfully wonderful debut album <strong>If You Could Have It All Again</strong>. <strong>Low Island </strong>hail from Oxford, the home of other genre-bending giants like <strong>Glass Animals, Radiohead </strong>and <strong>Foals; </strong>forming five years ago in 2016. They’ve been busier than most bands their age, sliding out a string of EP’s that blend the pop sensibilities of latter day Radiohead with the bombast of LCD Soundsystem and Talking Heads as well as the synthy grooves of Glass Animals. Disillusioned by the industry they indulge, they launched their own label <strong>Emotional Interference </strong>at the start of the first lockdown last year, splitting the duties between the band, fleshed out by bassist Jacob and drummer Felix. From their management to their live show to their production, they’re the living embodiment of twenty-first century DIY. The album is everything you could imagine a band fully in control of their creative freedom could bring to the table, and then some - each track takes a new shape or form from the last, whilst simultaneously flowing like one cohesive piece that takes you on a journey. It’s a lyrical adventure through the roaring twenties, focusing on the highs and lows of navigating love and loss in the modern age. It’s a modern classic. </p><br><p>We dive in deep on the album’s creation, the influences and inspirations that have bought their forever-mutating sound to life, the emotional spaces they wish to send their soundscapes sweeping into, and so much more. I’d firstly like to thank Low Island for their time and their music, and I’d like to thank Lewis at Super Cat for setting it up. Enjoy! </p><p><br></p><br><hr><p style="color:grey;font-size:0.75em;"> See <a style="color:grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
