They say not all who wander are lost, but NJ-based alt-folk rockers, Lowlight, want to question why we even wander at all. Merging with ease the warmth of Western folk and an indie rock sensibility, the band’s latest release, "Why Wander" gallops along with the assistance of a steady, driving drumbeat, conjuring up images of wild, rust-colored stallions rumbling across the plains. The song, a meditation on those who wander and those who choose to stay put, is characterized by the precise intertwining of the electric instrumentation, and the vague fatalism of the lyrics, expressed by singer Renne Maskin with a slight twang. The combo makes for a warm folk rock song rooted in the American tradition – stream it below, exclusively on the Deli. – Olivia Sisinni
