LOWERTOWN

LOWTOWN, the New York-based duo of Olivia Osby and Avsha Weinberg, brings their conceptual album *Ugly Duckling Union* to Songbyrd Music House. Inspired by the communal concert experience of Fugazi and the conceptual creativity of Gorillaz, the album follows Dale the duckling protagonist and companions as they battle a tyrannical media corporation. The project extends beyond music into a playable Minecraft world, a handbook, plush dolls, and comics by Doctor Nowhere (Silas Orion). Osby and Weinberg wrote, recorded, produced, and mixed the album themselves, describing it as a celebration of community and fandom built from online spaces and real‑life misfit connections. The duo’s sound blends indie rock and alt‑folk with biting honesty and a newfound mature, humorous lens.
