We want life to be linear, working through the dark to finally get to the light. Grief to joy, despair to hope, confusion to claritynot a jangly cycle we cant escape. But through their incandescent folk songs, the Lowest Pair often ask: What if we sit with the mess? What if thats not just more peaceful, but more magical, too? Fare thee well and go to hell, I love you and Im mad at you. Its such a theme in my life, Winter says, then laughs. Wishing things were different but loving all of it, too.On their 8th album Always As Young As Well Ever Be, the Lowest Pair prove that over the last dozen years together, theyve become some of modern roots musics most mesmerizing, thoughtful purveyors. Produced by Tucker Martine (The Decemberists), the 10-track album puts the duos stark lyricism, string-driven arrangements, and raw compatibility on brilliant display. Were both trying to make space for each other rather than crowd each other out, Lee says, reflecting on why the Lowest Pair works. Were doing a lot of listening and reacting to what the other person is doing. Lees speaking voice is a comforting echo of his singing voice, soft and precise. Winter talks like she sings, too, sweet and raspy. Heard together, the effect is both soothing and scintillating, like a crisp mountain stream smoothing rocks. The Lowest Pairs musicianship is another beautiful testament not just to playing that breathes, but playing that listens. Winter, who grew up in Arkansas but has lived in Washington State for the last two decades, and Lee, a Minnesota native, first gained attention as poetic singer-songwriters on banjos. While their family of strings has expandedWinter plays more guitar on the new record than she ever has beforetheir fundamental approach hasnt: Respond to sounds and stories the other is making.
