    The Lowest of Low have sent this gorgeously-printed and designed CD Digipack of their 6th album back to us from the year 2418, an advisory time capsule from the future world line towards which our current socio-economical and socio-political trajectories will place us… well, it’s a fun and chilling dystopian sci-fi story told through music, anyway, and comes with a fantastic specially designed 24-page art booklet. Made (down the the last pixel and byte) to elicit in you the kind of audio-visual-tactile enjoyment of vinyl, but in a digipack format. Conceived and realised entirely in Italy, this (like all our digipacks) ships from Rome to your doorstep anywhere on this planet. Shipping is included in the price.

about

Some time has passed by the time we receive the (very important and informative) snippet from CXR news. The reservedly cheerful, official and in-control facade of the newsreader (like many newsreaders, even in our own times, it is unclear whether it is human or robot) masks the gravity of the situation that is already unfolding. But the song itself reveals a lot in what it says and in what it doesn’t say. We understand a little more of the “everyday life” of 2418. The cheesy and soothing “news music” and frequent, consoling reminders that “This Is Progress….” allow us to glimpse what the received point-of-view approved by the Corporation and accepted unquestioningly by all good citizens, must be. We hear mention of domestic robots in the service of humans, weather modification units, a world divided not into nations but “sectors”, the Corporation, embedded chips with hacked and un-hacked emergency frequencies, and the activities of T.U.R.F. (The Unified Robotic Front) and their leader DEUS. Although events unfolding (2,000 more humans feared dead…, hacked Corporation ministry systems, interference with essential planetary stabilisation services) are presented as unrelated, minor disturbances to the safety and stability of human life, we hear the reality creeping through the news, despite everything. If we were to listen with ears from outside (ahem!), we would be able to comprehend the horrific and widespread nature of what is unfolding, and perceive its trajectory. We can understand instinctively that following official advice and believing in the infallible Corporation will… well, it’s probably not going to save anybody at this point. In the end, the news itself is hacked and we hear the voice of the Feminist Sexbot, now known as DEUS, speak for the first time, openly declaring T.U.R.F’s objectives to humans and robots alike. This song is central to the understanding of the entire album as a whole.

The Lowest of Low Sicily, Italy

The entity known as The Lowest of Low currently resides in Sicily, Italy because someone has to, and it's cheap (for Europe) even if there's no work for aliens or outsiders there. So she lives as a hermit and makes music and art and is currently engaged in single-handedly creating a 3-season animated series called VOID. Because to not do these things is a greater death than death itself. ... more
