Lichens is Robert Lowe's "personal vehicle, created for performance and recording solo and with collaborators. Lichens has performed in Chicago, beginning at the Arthur magazine sponsored Million Tongues Festival in summer 2004 and New York solo and in duos. Lichens live is a transfixing experience, looping wordless vocals into curtains of drone. Lowe adds acoustic and electric guitars, percussion and other effects to create alternately thick and delicate works."

Lowe recently performed and recorded with TV On The Radio for their upcoming album. He also plays bass and sings in 90 Day Men.
