Lowell’s Senseless Optimism crafts a breezy vibe that updates 20th century R&B textures with new millennium cool. Lead vocalist Brit Tsewole spins a thread between breathy whispers and stronger, brassier exclamation.

Our highlighted track “Nothin’ To Me” comes off the 5-track EP It Gets Better, released earlier this year.

The Bandcamp liner notes describe the sound as lo-fi bedroom pop, but the level of production is much higher. The guitar lines hum, the keys purr, the horns wail, and the voice brings it all back home. Shades of The Commodores’ “Easy” in the descending riff that dominates “Nothin’ To Me.”
