Low Island are an Oxford-based electronic band featuring multi-instrumentalists/singers Carlos Posada and Jamie Jay, bassist/keyboardist Jacob Lively and drummer/percussionist Felix Higginbottom. All childhood friends, Low Island are a band literally a lifetime in the making, playing music together in various combinations since first meeting each other, before finally settling with the current lineup two years ago.
Their next single, Search Box, ‘inspired by the idea that Google has become the world’s therapist’, was released in June alongside a self-produced music video and ‘Search Bot’ on the
band’s website. The video featured a lone mouth (Posada’s) that buckled and contorted under the weight of the repeated questions in the song’s lyrics. Included in Spotify’s ‘The Indie List’, ‘Fresh Finds’ and ‘Hot New Bands’, 6music’s Tom Robinson described how the track ‘almost made me fall off my perch. We’ll have Low Island rocking the pyramid stage yet, mark my
words,’ while Radio 1’s Jack Saunders lauded its ‘post-punk lyrics’.
