Years Active
2008 – present (15 years)
Marooned in Aberystwyth, UK, blind chance and a shared fascination with the British seaside brought together Paul Newland and Tim Noble. On deserted beaches and vertiginous coastal paths, in ancient woodlands and derelict mines, conversations veered wildly from myth to fact, sea to sky, waking to dreaming, cartography to psychogeography, song to instrumental, melody to rhythm…
Somehow, between these extremes, a collaboration began to take shape.
The music, like the landscape in which it is created, is elusive, restless, uncanny: field recordings bleed into haunting vocals, consonance splinters into savage dissonance, rhythms surge then stumble to collapse.
The band’s debut album, Under Cambrian Sky was released by Victory Garden Records on 7th June 2010.
The Lowland Hundred made their live debut at The Green Man festival in August 2010.
In October 2010, the band started recording their second album.
