Matt Lowell will be releasing his new EP, Swan Lake, on March 8th. Swan Lake is co-written with Dead Oceans Recording artist John Vanderslice and produced by Joel Hamilton (Black Keys, Matisyahu, Sparklehorse) and John Davis at Avatar Studios (John Mayer, Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith). In addition, Vanderslice and Hamilton introduced Lowell to Minna Choi the arranger of the indie Magik*Magik Orchestra and immediately decided to make them a part of the EP. With complex arrangements and beautiful orchestration the amazing orchestra added the last and final piece to this remarkable project.
