Lowertown

Lowertown is an American indie rock duo formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 2018. The group consists of Olivia Osby and Avsha Weinberg. Originally emerging from the Atlanta DIY scene, the duo later relocated to New York City. Their music blends elements of indie rock, folk, and experimental pop. The duo's first EP was released in 2021, titled Honeycomb, Bedbug. The duo's second EP, The Gaping Mouth, was released in early 2022. Their debut album, I Love to Lie, was released in 2022 via Dirty Hit. In 2023, Lowertown released their third EP titled Skin of My Teeth. The duo met in a high school math class and bonded over a shared interest in music. Weinberg is a classically trained pianist, while Osby began writing poetry at a young age, which has influenced the lyric-driven nature of their work. The band signed with Dirty Hit prior to graduating high school, and departed from the label preceding the release of their third album. The name "Lowertown" is derived from the Lower Town neighborhood in Ottawa, Canada, where the duo worked on early demos.
