Soul Low was born out of teenage jam sessions, late nights studying Milwaukee rock and roll, and a spirited sense of irreverence. With Jake Balistrieri on lead vocals and guitar, Charlie Celenza as the rhythm section, Sam Gehrke on bass, and Sean Hirthe providing keyboards and saxophone, Soul Low’s story began when they were just Milwaukee kids experimenting with their instruments.
Soul Low draws inspiration from their musical training, DIY spirit, and such stalwarts as Violent Femmes and Modest Mouse. After establishing themselves as serious locals and recording their debut album, Uneasy, the band hit the road to cut their teeth on stages around the country. Touring brought inspiration, and soon, Soul Low broke new ground with Nosebleeds, released in August on Milwaukee’s Gloss Records.
Recorded over the course of a weekend, complex rhythms share space with bright, easygoing pop melodies and quirky lyrical musings. Drawing comparisons to artists like The Shins and Girls, Soul Low have carved out a space for themselves as purveyors of bright, inventive music with a wiry, clever edge. – and they’re ready to share it with the world.
