With undeniable rhythm studded by celestial electronics, “High Enough” is Lowell’s clearest and most restrained music to date. Where “Cloud 69” spilled over with energy, the elements of “High Enough” are in perfect harmony. The product of a winning battle with writer’s block, Lowell’s lyrics consider the struggle to exceed expectations as an artist, including her own ambitions: “Am I good enough / Am I high enough / Yet?”

Co-created by Lowell and director Sylvain Chaussée, the video for “High Enough” blends black-and-white film with dashes of colour. Chaussée, a Toronto-based filmmaker and photographer, described the video as “a cinematic study of Lowell as a performer through the use of movement and extensive colour printing techniques.” The ethereal “High Enough” video premiered by Stereogum today.

Part 1: PARIS YK looks back on a formative period of Lowell’s life spent in Canada’s Yukon Territory. Intuiting northern lights and tundra with synonymous sound, Lowell personifies the stark North in contrast with her vibrant life as a musician. The new three-song collection highlights Lowell’s patent sonic detail, blending cinematic atmosphere with an intoxicating beat. “High Enough” shows Lowell settling into her own element, and the sky is not even close to the limit.
