The Lowland Lakers are set to release their second full-length album this week. The members of the trio trade lead-singing duties, and their harmonies are lush and beautiful — even though the subject matter of the songs can be a little on the sad side.

Nate Case and Haley Rydell first sang together at a jam session while they were students at the University of Minnesota Duluth. Case and Rydell kept on playing together even after relocating to the Twin Cities. Now they, along with Taylor Donskey, are excited to release their album, Lost In The Move, at a release party this Sunday, July 29, at the Turf Club in St. Paul, Minn.

To give us a preview, the trio stopped into the studio to sing and chat.
