It's been a grey day All the lights are gone We're in a black space All the lights are gone Can we pretend to have tried? Is there a hand to push me up? Is there a hand to pull me? Εverything seems..everything seems destroyed Everything looks like..everything is so dark Is there a hand to pull me?
2.
Layers 04:28
Do you believe or take it for granted? Do you see black? Or you believe you can save me? I'm seeing red And I feel dead
3.
Now watch your life Have you improved? Do you remember Ten years ago? Now watch your life Have you improved? Familiar faces Sooner than expected See what you did See what you feel See who you are See what is left This place is who I am This place is who we are
4.
I Never See 04:12
Torn in places You'd never see Wake up, pages You won't believe How can I see it? Who can I blame for?
5.
Distress 06:08
I was bleeding to death And then you came and saved (me) I was going to rewind, You were vanished And I was there to let you go... Back you up in distress Till it's safe, your veil Gonna hang my last places, In need to feel And I was there to let you go And I was there to let it flow

Drained 03:34
I ran out of time But I'm still here Everything's destroyed Smell the broken In a blink of an eye I hear the air Smell the broken

about

Low Texture is a minimalist post rock trio based in Athens and Thessaloniki, featuring members of Spineless, Six Steps Above The Earth and The Dandelion Fields.

Their approach to making music could be described as semi improvisational as they go into the studio with some ideas but the end result is always unknown as they play and record songs the same day, then adding a few layers of overdubs.

With influences ranging from Elizabeth Frazer, Lisa Gerrard to Diamanda Galas, Chrysa Tsaltampasi delivers powerful melodic vocals using a range of vocal techniques she has honed over the years.
Sakis Gallo, a musician with deep understanding of minimal guitar playing, lays down the foundations of the songs with musical phrases that express the core feeling each song aims to convey to the listener.
Vasilis Gkogkidis adds the final touches to the songs using guitar, bass, theremin and noise generator creating layers of sounds that compliment the rest of the composition.

The seven songs in "Improliving" invite the listener to experience a range of emotions such as sadness in “Misleading Grey“, hopefulness in “I Never See“ and resolve in “Distress“.
Longer songs like "Ten Years Ago" and "Low" allow the trio to experiment with looser song structures and a variety of different sounds and playing techniques. Despite its improvisational roots, "Improliving" offers listeners an adventurous but carefully structured musical journey featuring inspiration from different genres all filtered through the band’s minimalist aesthetic.
