The Lowbred Watts reveal “This American Hide” LP

The Lowbred Watts is the solo project of Ryan Stapler, a Rhode Islander that’s made his way into the Boston music scene. The lo-fi folk artist released his first full-length, This American Hide, in April. On “Not Sleeping Outdoors,” Stapler sounds like Alex Turner playing a Nirvana cover on an 8-track recorder, while he gets more experimental and ambient on “Ectopic Vibrations.” The ambitious full-length takes on yet another style on the country-twanging ballad “Get Home,” its melody euphonic and its mix of guitar and layered vocals just the right amount of muddled.
