The Lowest Pair wsg Julianna Warner

Doors 6PM | Show 7PM $15 ADV | $20 DOS The Lowest Pair The Lowest Pair has questions. The duo, made up of Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee, know that we tend to see duality as a problem. We want life to be linear, working through the dark to finally get to the light. Grief to joy, despair to hope, confusion to clarity----not a jangly cycle we can't escape. But through their incandescent folk songs, the Lowest Pair often ask: What if we sit with the mess? What if that's not just more peaceful, but more magical, too? , "rdquo" -> Fare thee well and go to hell, I love you and I'm mad at you. It's such a theme in my life," Winter says, then laughs. , "rdquo" -> Wishing things were different but loving all of it, too." On their 8th album Always As Young As We'll Ever Be, the Lowest Pair prove that over the last dozen years together, they've become some of modern roots music's most mesmerizing, thoughtful purveyors. Produced by Tucker Martine (The Decemberists), the 10-track album puts the duo's stark lyricism, string-driven arrangements, and raw compatibility on brilliant display. , "rdquo" -> We're both trying to make space for each other rather than crowd each other out," Lee says, reflecting on why the Lowest Pair works. , "rdquo" -> We're doing a lot of listening and reacting to what the other person is doing." Lee's speaking voice is a comforting echo of his singing voice, soft and precise. Winter talks like she sings, too, sweet and raspy. Heard together, the effect is both soothing and scintillating, like a crisp mountain stream smoothing rocks. The Lowest Pair's musicianship is another beautiful testament not just to playing that breathes, but playing that listens. Winter, who grew up in Arkansas but has lived in Washington State for the last two decades, and Lee, a Minnesota native, first gained attention as poetic singer-songwriters on banjos. While their family of strings has expanded----Winter plays more guitar on the new record than she ever has before----their fundamental approach hasn't: Respond to sounds and stories the other is making.
