About Low Girl
Low Girl, a London-based quartet, have rapidly carved out a distinctive niche in the UK’s indie scene since their formation. Comprising Sarah Cosgrove (vocals, guitar), Toby Turner (guitar), Brad Taylor (bass), and Tom Beach (drums), the band quickly garnered attention with their unique blend of melancholic introspection and soaring, anthemic melodies. Their sound is often characterised by Cosgrove’s ethereal yet powerful vocals, intricate guitar work, and a rhythm section that provides both subtle groove and driving force, creating a sonic palette that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.
Their early EPs, such as “Big Now” and “Arry,” showcased their knack for crafting incredibly emotive and relatable songs, earning them comparisons to acts like Wolf Alice and The xx. Tracks like “Big Now” and “Bitch” became immediate fan favourites, demonstrating their ability to blend vulnerability with a potent, propulsive energy. Low Girl’s lyrics often explore themes of youth, identity, and the complexities of human connection, delivered with a raw honesty that resonates deeply with their audience. Their live performances are renowned for their captivating intensity and the genuine connection they forge with the crowd, making each show a truly immersive experience.
