Lowertown is a Virginia-based indie rock duo — Olivia Frenzel and Calum Byers — whose recordings have established them as one of the more interesting acts working in the space between lo-fi bedroom pop and proper indie rock. Their music has the kind of hazy, emotionally precise quality that travels well between headphones and live rooms, which has built them a following among listeners who discovered them online and then sought out the live experience.
The Masquerade on June 17 is a well-matched room for a band whose sound rewards exactly the kind of close-range listening the smaller venue provides.
