Lowertown – Mice Protection
Lowertown, the New York duo of Olivia Osby and Avsha Weinberg, release a video for “Mice Protection,” the final single from their anticipated new album, Ugly Duckling Union, out this Friday via Summer Shade.
“The first song written for Ugly Duckling Union, the song starts with an exhale. After 2 years of extensive touring and emotional turmoil moving out of our childhoods houses in Atlanta, we had to reevaluate our relationship within music and the band. Mice protection was the first time back in a basement studio and the first time we realized we knew the direction for the new album,” the band explains. “We called the song ‘Mice Protection’ to pay homage to Avsha’s rat infested house that all of Ugly Duckling Union was recorded in. Its lyrics are an introduction to some of the core themes of the album like the ambiguity of right and wrong, reality in the scope of different perspectives, and the darkness and light that exists and within an individual.”
Lowertown are currently on tour in support of Ugly Duckling Union, their riotous live show, which has been selling out shows across the tour, is not to be missed.
