We hear shades of The Flaming Lips' deep-space ennui present in "Whiskey", the latest from Brooklyn quintet Lowry, who begin their eight week residency at Williamsburg's Spike Hill this evening.

At a time when the label "indie" has blurred to include major label heavy hitters like Coldplay (much like the 90s "alternative" came to include Sheryl Crow), it's incredibly refreshing to hear a group hewing so perilously close to the genre's trappings while remaining so vitally un-commercial sounding- the sentiment "you've got to grow up sometime" isn't a particularly marketable one, especially off Bedford Ave.

Chilly in ways that only the most human amongst us can pull off, "Whiskey" is a fine score to these lip chapped days.
