Noise Pop: Sean Rowe
Sean Rowe is an alternative folk singer-songwriter and musician. Though Rowe has often made his hometown of Troy, New York and its surrounding areas his creative base, New Lore brought a new environment and a new producer. Appropriate to his love of folk-blues legends like Howlin’ Wolf, he ventured to Sam Phillips Recording studio in Memphis to work with Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, Margo Price). They tapped into the history of the legendary space to hone a sound that is at once rich and stark, putting Rowe’s deep and dynamic range at the forefront. Because if high notes can shatter windows, Rowe’s low and guttural ones can meld sand into glass.
