Back in 2001, Lowgold’s debut ‘Just Backwards Of Square’ hinted at a promising future. Seven years on, things clearly haven’t been plain sailing. Follow up album ‘Welcome To Winners’ disappeared faster than Lord Lucan and record company rifts, financial woes and in-band fighting pretty much finished them off.
No doubt they hope ‘Promise Lands’ will see them emerge Phoenix-like from the flames. Songs like ‘Clear’ and ‘Burning Embers’ hint at some of the understated beauty they managed to capture on their debut. However, much of the material struggles to shine and is buried under production that’s muddier than Michael Eavis’s boots. All in all, ‘Promise Lands’ feels more like a swansong for the band than a bright new start. Stewart McCullough
