Katie Presley from Bitch Media called Lowell “Canadian misandrist cheerleader” on NPR’s All Songs SXSW preview show, so of course I had to check her out. I like what I hear: The pop sensibilities of Lykke Li with the swagger of M.I.A. and a trace of Peaches’ attitude, especially in this hit “Cloud 69” Other songs are more soaring, or more melodic, or more pop, or all of the above. Awesome.
