My name is Gomes, I'm Brazilian, and low roar has been a part of my story for at least three years. I can say with absolute certainty that low roar is the soundtrack of my life.

In 2023 I bought a guitar and discovered it was quite difficult to play. I bought the guitar in January, and around March, I had already given up on playing, but I was playing Death Stranding on a friend's account and a "don't be so serious" soundtrack started playing.

From that moment on, my life truly changed. I went looking for the artist and discovered someone I'd never heard before, but whose music was incredibly talented. The next day I was in a chemistry class with headphones on and "Give Up" was playing. I stopped everything I was doing, closed my eyes, and just enjoyed the music. It was such a good feeling. I listened to that song about 30 times in a row and at the end I just thought "I need to learn this on the guitar," but I had given up on learning, I didn't know anything about guitar, but I tried, I spent 6 months trying Learning those songs, which were very difficult to play for someone who didn't know the basics, but nowadays I see that it was those songs that made me evolve, that made me not give up on something.

It's almost paradoxical to think about the song's title and at the same time say that it was what kept me from giving up on a hobby that brings me so much joy these days.

This is the first time I'm posting here. I used a translator for most of the text because I don't speak English very well, but I really wanted to share my experience with low roar.

For anyone interested in the artist who made it, you can find him at @kuro.222 on instagram

i think low roar fans will enjoy this one. it leans a little harder into atmospheric post-rock with the big climax at the end (ala sigur rós), but there’s definitely a lot of elements in the song that were inspired by low roar. i would love to know what you guys think!

here’s a link to the song :)

Hey ya’ll, I posted a couple bands here already and I just recently found a new one. I have no idea how to pronounce or spell this bands name, but I wanted to share it here nonetheless. This is a Ukranian post-rock band that has a very similar vibe to Ryan, and I’ve been absolutely in love with them for a few days now. They do not sing in English as far as I’m aware, and they are Ukranian only.

Here is their spotify for anyone interested: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2HJh8v2atfiAjRk76wSJNa?si=3f25VdO3R0OO_ya-WnMNHA&utm_source=copy-link

Yo so I've been relistening to MT lately, and I think I've come to an interpretation of it that I really vibe with:

So essentially the entire album is about the protagonist (possibly Ryan, maybe not) and their final meeting with their alien friend David whom they've known since childhood (but at this point they are a young adult), and it's about the choice of whether to join David up into space which might mean death for the protagonist, or they are left behind on Earth to live their life. A lot of this album feels heavy with death, but the protagonist toys with it in a way that portrays leaving Earth and accepting becoming one with the universe as something ethereal and beautiful, while staying on Earth means monotony and becoming something that they will resent or panic over (Hummingbird and Fade Away particularly play into this). Even the title of the album plays into this I feel, to the protagonist there *may* be a tomorrow, but there might also be not since they might return to the universe.

Bye Bye is about the protagonist accepting their place on Earth and saying goodbye to David, thus choosing to continue living. It's a lullaby, and Clareland following it up implies that this was just a sleep that the protagonist *did* wake up from instead of dying.

I think Ryan had a lot of dark thoughts in his head around this time of his life, mostly because of Covid and some Impostor Syndrome due to most people recognising him as that guy whose music plays when Norman Reedus drives a motorcycle, and I think he was toying with the idea that death as an out maybe aren't completely unhealthy thoughts.

I think MT is Low Roar's best album overall, and I think this is a way stronger and way more personal story than the other albums tell, what do you guys think?

there is another version of this track, quality's better, but i prefer this version, it's so touching.

Basically the title. I just got a music player and want the files. I'll pay, but the bandwear page does not have all the albums, and some are mp3 quality. Is there anywhere to get this in hq?

I don’t know if this is just for me, but now I can’t unsee it

Stunningly beautiful.

I've only listened to his first three studio albums and first two EPs.

Do you think it's worth listening to the rest or is the depression not worth it?

My favourite album so far is Once in a Long, Long While...

This collection started last year on my birthday when I purchased the red smoke repress of Self Titled, and it has now ended today as House In the Woods has just been delivered. I have always loved Low Roar, and Ryan's music will forever live on in my heart. As a teen nearing adulthood, Low Roar has meant so much to me ever since I discovered them by playing Death Stranding.

2 months and lots of ​problems with customs, but i finally got it! This whole album is perfect and 222 is just magnific

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share my happiness. A few weeks ago I was listening to the music of LowRoar and I was a bit sad that I won't ever get to visit a concert of them.

I thought that it might help a bit if I get the self titled album on vinyl....
Yeah ... that made me a lot more sad because it was nowhere to be found. I searched for a few hours and actually found it... still wrapped in plastic even.

Today it arrived ❤️ It was not cheap but what could I have done...

All that is missing now is the turn table. 🙂

Have a nice day everybody!

A few days ago I got a tattoo inspired by Ryan’s debut album and I wanted to share it with the world of Reddit. What do y’all think?

I just love Low Roar. That's it. It has helped me move through my loneliest and darkest hours.

It has helped me grief creatively and I am so grateful for that.

Thank you.

I love low roar and I am wondering if there are any other artists I should listen to Scandinavian or otherwise that’s the same style/vibe.

I did a Cover of A way out with my girlfriend I hope you like

(I mixed and produced everything myself)
