Lowsunday Unveils New Video for 'You're So Wired'

Pittsburgh darkwave-shoegaze pioneers Lowsunday have released the video for You're So Wired, a standout track from their newly released Low Sunday Ghost Machine – Black EP, out now via Projekt Records.

Produced by Jer Herring, the video captures the exhilarating yet disorienting experience of being drawn to a highly energetic and unpredictable personality. Blending dreamlike imagery with alternative rock energy, the song explores the blurred boundaries between reality and imagination while ultimately celebrating personal freedom and escape.

Originally formed in 1994, Lowsunday helped shape the early darkwave and shoegaze underground with acclaimed releases such as Low Sunday Ghost Machine (1996) and Elesgiem (1999). Following a long hiatus, founding members Shane Sahene and Bobby Spell have returned with renewed creative energy, delivering two acclaimed EPs in recent years.

While the White EP explored brighter textures, the Black EP embraces a darker and more introspective atmosphere. Driven by layered guitars, haunting synths, and memorable melodies, it showcases a band confidently reconnecting with its legacy while sounding as relevant as ever.

O

n the trail of the 'Low Sunday Ghost Machine - Black EP', newly released via Projekt Records, Pittsburgh darkwave-shoegaze pioneers Lowsunday present 'You’re So Wired', with the video produced by Jer Herring. Capturing the roller-coaster experience of being drawn to a highly energetic, erratic individual, who blurs the line between imagination and everyday life, this song channels a vibrant, alternative rock spirit that ultimately celebrates breaking free into a state of liberated peace.

Formed in 1994, Lowsunday (initially Low Sunday Ghost Machine) emerged as a "retro-futurist" pioneer, blending darkwave and shoegaze long before the genres saw their modern revival. The 'Black EP' is their second release of all-new material released since 1999, previewed by the darkly fascinating lead track 'This Is Not Heaven' and focus track 'Shattered'.

Their legacy was cemented with their 1996 debut album 'Low Sunday Ghost Machine' and the 1999 masterpiece 'Elesgiem', both with extended re-releases out via Projekt Records in the past 18 months (for the 30th and 25th anniversaries, respectively). With a cult reputation for mercurial sounds and blistering guitar work, their music set the stage for subsequent generations of alternative artists. Following a nearly 25-year hiatus, the band resurfaced as the duo of original member Shane Sahene (vocals, guitar, synth, bass, drums) and Bobby Spell (bass, guitar, drums).

At the end of 2025, Lowsunday released their ‘Low Sunday Ghost Machine - White EP', ranked second among Post-Punk.com's Best EPs of 2025, and showcased by the singles 'Love Language', 'Soft Capture' and 'Nevver'. Both a reflection and a resurgence, Lowsunday's two new EPs usher in a welcome return, marked by superb production and a renewed creative clarity, bridging three decades of distinct sonic legacy with balanced doses of escapism, dreamlike sounds, drones and feedback.

With a sound defined by atmosphere, precision, and heartfelt shadow and depths, Lowsunday is now asserting their presence with new strength. While the 'White EP' explored light and texture, the 'Black EP' is the darker counterpart and definitive statement. Shadow and intensity, layered guitars, tight rhythms, and austere synths, this new EP' distills the duo's vision into a sharper, more potent form — a bold declaration of their enduring artistic power.

"'You’re So Wired' is a song that touches on a manic type of experience. It also touches on the classic Chuang Tzu question, after having had a vivid dream: "am I man dreaming I am a butterfly or am I a butterfly dreaming I am a man?" -- The experience of not knowing if you’re awake or dreaming. In this case, the rapid eye movements shown in the video capture both dreaming and erratic behavior, making it hard to interpret which is which," says Shane Sahene.

"In the video, I love the way Jer shows the subject looking through a camera - like a search for honesty or an altered reality. It relates to the song like a form of detachment - just one step removed. Ultimately it’s the experience with this type of person - that when they’re gone, you miss the excitement they create and when you're together, the unpredictably can feel overwhelming. I enjoy the idea of being in a permanent dream state, like an overlay to reality, where one is only stabilized by their dreams. The beauty of the video comes when the escape has been made - just as the song opens up in the bridge - it captures a freedom that had been searched for and finally found."

Lowsunday's music blends glittering, pristine textures with infectious choruses, creating an evocative aura that feels both classic and perfectly suited for the modern era. Representing a daring progression toward deeper, echoing auditory environments, they alternate between steady beats, turbulent noise and delicate, ghostly movements. Exploring dark, expansive sonic territories, they seamlessly transition from harsh, grating feedback to fragile, dream-pop-inspired instances of deep yearning.

"For me, our 'Black EP' is deceptive, opening with energetic and wistful 'You’re So Wired' but followed by songs that are melancholy and introspective. These are the strongest songs we’ve yet done. With strong and memorable melodies, they invoke feelings of isolation and sadness, but in a way that feels familiar instead of depressing, leaving a sense of hope, " says Bobby Spell.

"And this video for 'You're So Wired' perfectly reflects the energy of this song - it feels light and energetic. It’s whimsical, a bit punk rock and a little bit dreamy escapism. Visually the video expresses this feeling with the primary character being a somewhat chaotic but interesting and enigmatic person."

The 'Low Sunday Ghost Machine - Black EP' is out now, available across digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp, where the limited edition 7" of 'Static / Besides', can also be ordered. The vinyl edition of the album (limited to 200 copies), released on May 29th, can be pre-ordered via Bandcamp and the Projekt Records website.
