LOW (häftad, eng)

David Bowie’s legendary time in West Berlin as he searches for inspiration and records his 1977 album Low

LOW traces the aftermath of David Bowie’s groundbreaking tour of America and the iconic “Berlin years” that followed.

Hot on the platform heels of Starman: Bowie’s Stardust Years (SelfMadeHero, 2023), Reinhard Kleist masterfully concludes his two-part biography of David Bowie.

In 1976, Bowie escaped the frantic madness and substance abuse of his life in Los Angeles for the Wall of the divided city of Berlin.

With his friend Iggy Pop in tow, Bowie quit drugs and created LOW, the first album of his “Berlin Trilogy.” But even here, in some of the happiest days of his life, Ziggy Stardust would not let him go . . .

LOW follows Bowie’s forays through West Berlin’s revolutionary music scene and wild club life, and takes us deep into his recording sessions at Hansa Studios.

The friendship between Bowie and Iggy drives both artists to new creative heights, while Bowie’s relationship with the cabaret artist and drag icon Romy Haag illuminates his fascination with Berlin as a city on the brink.

Kleist’s LOW is both a retelling of Bowie’s Berlin years and a vibrant portrait of the city itself.
