Low Spirits was born out of ghosts of the past, yet always present in their lives. Looking back to broken families, addictions and lost connections, a musical connection was made between the two. Pairing the lyrics of Vinnie Fiorello, longtime drummer and lyricist for Less Than Jake, and the music and vocals of JM Lansdowne. Working through some of their ideas, they started to exorcise some of the ghosts and the music connection started to solidify into songs and more ideas. Floating in between genres but always paying homage to past ghosts.
‘When it’s all said and done, there’s a moment of clarity for everyone,’ explains Fiorello. ‘How did you make the most of what you did while you walked this earth? I had read about a nurse who heard and overheard the regrets of people who were about to pass and the common theme was the wish to have been there more; in the present, enjoying family and friends, and not taking for granted the life they were given. ‘A Father’s Forgiveness Song’ grapples with the end and was everything worth it. Stress, overwork, and believing in something more after the chapter closes.’
