# 16 Lowell, We Loved Her Dearly
Indie and pop are often genres that feel worlds apart, but when it works? Life is good. It's music for your body and brain. Lowell's full-length debut album, We Loved Her Dearly, falls into this camp. It's got catchy pop songs like “Bells” and “Tell Me What To Do” to lift you off your feet, but it's also the darker songs to keep you grounded: “Words Were the Wars;” “Summertime.” And because life is complex, some of the best tracks feature both, like “Cloud 69” and “LGBT.” It’s what makes this album so strong: it makes you feel good and you don't have to be ashamed about it. — Ben
