Low Roar is the debut album by the
American-Icelandic musical project
Low Roar, released on November 1, 2011, through Tonequake Records. "Help Me," the album's eighth track, was featured in the animated documentary film
Flee.
Music and style
Low Roar can be described as a
post-rock,
ambient and
folk-rock album. The album is based on musician Ryan Karazija's move to Iceland, who was formerly of the indie rock band
Audrye Sessions, as well as the change and introversion of fall.[citation needed]
Recording and production
After moving from
Livermore, California to
Reykjavík, lead singer Ryan Karazija, formerly of the American indie rock band Audrye Sessions, chronicled the difficulty of acclimating to a foreign land, finding work, and supporting his family by writing a song each day.[2]
The album was recorded with nothing more than a laptop in Ryan's kitchen in Reykjavík, as a result of having a very low budget after moving to Iceland.[3]
