My Take

Chris Lowe is the deadpan engine room of Pet Shop Boys, and I genuinely think the duo doesn't work without his stillness. While Neil Tennant fronts it, Chris stands behind the keyboards, often shades on, looking gloriously unbothered, and yet he co-wrote that whole towering synth-pop catalogue since they formed in 1981. West End Girls, It's a Sin, Being Boring, the architecture is his as much as anyone's. He studied at Liverpool, he's English, Blackpool-born 1959, not American as the data claims. I love that he turned reticence into a stage persona. The quiet half of one of pop's smartest acts.

Overview

Christopher Sean Lowe (born 4 October 1959) is an English musician, songwriter, and co-founder of the synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys, which he formed with Neil Tennant in 1981. He is primarily the keyboardist and occasionally a vocalist, and he is the co-author of the catalogue of Pet Shop Boys songs with his writing partner, Tennant.
