19th July 2016: “Just damn fine music.” ★★★★ from Jazzwise Magazine for Preston – Glasgowe – Lowe debut album

Preston Glasgow Lowe is the eponymous debut album from London-based trio David Preston (guitar), Kevin Glasgow (six-string electric bass) and Laurie Lowe (drums).

The sheer, virtuosic rapidity of the playing found within these 65 minutes is striking – from the tumultuous, firecracker synchronicity of ‘C:\>PU’ and ‘Colour Possesses’ to the melodic guitar breadth and animated bass grooving of ‘Everything in Everything’, and the breathless six-string bass velocity of ‘Elephant and Castle’ to Laurie Lowe’s viscerally penetrating drum eruption at the centre of three-part ‘Within You’. Presenting a cool, synthy spatiality, ‘Song to the Citadel’ prompts exquisite fretboard roaming and pitch-bending from both Preston and Glasgow; while the intensifying, rock-infused urgency of ‘The Priory’ – written in part as a through-composed drum solo – features Lowe’s relentless yet nuanced drumming.

This weekend, the band will be playing at Portugal’s  Viseu Jazz Festival at the Parque Aquilino Ribeiro (details.)
