Low (the band, not the Bowie album) - Page 2

RdTv · 11.13.2008, 06:38 PM

Let's all have group session filled with used handkerchiefs, profound and buried secrets, Nigerian guinness, and stilton cheese. Let's mix said session with some lamented, curtailed memory's, vivid skies, sheep dog's and you will encounter the country of ''Low''. A vast and wondrous land filled with top-notch scarves of the finest wool and corduroy jackets.

All detailed description aside, I like Low and I really liked Drums and Guns. Yo La Tengo are either an ace crew, or they are margerine. Galaxie 500 were good, but also hit or miss.

I dont listen to them much anymore but they used to fucking make me weep. Esp lullaby. over and over. Though the bands relation to ex lover was most likely the first cause, the music is still undeniably heart wrenching if you let it in.

I still have this wrapped up on my shelf that I bought in London four years ago for the lover fan as a gift and never gave it. http://www.stylusmagazine.com/review...d-rarities.htm

I think I might put some low on now.

"your poison" and "murderer" almost make up for the rest of the failed experiment that passes for the bulk of that album.

Yuk... I just listened to Great Destroyer for the first time in awhile. The music itself is fine... but the mastering of the CD is absolutely hideous.

Distortion/clipping all over the place. It's gonna be hard for me to enjoy this disc in the future, and I can't believe I never noticed how crappy it sounded until now.

Yeah I like Low a lot, but I skip a lot of their tracks. I have all their albums past Secret Name but I'm sure their early stuff is better. Drums and Guns is probably my favourite. As far as I'm concerned, when Low make a good song, it's beautiful. When they make a boring song, it's rather boring.

Delicately touching, like taking a walk in autumn with a thin dog for company, while leaves fall gently on top of your head. Fragile avant-emocore.

Sensuously ethereal songs in a fizzy cocktail of exquisite emotional confessions.

low are indeed arguably better music to fall asleep to. they can only wish they wrote a song like "sound and vision".

A circle of light surrounds the intensity of desire, whilst the ghost of Albert Ayler plays a sad-as-fuck tune on an alto sax.

Red candles flicker and drop wax, as the song of the cold, foreign shore surround you.

i likes 'em. it's kind of a shame they're a lot more popular now because i used to like to go to see them when they would play smaller venues and the crowd would all be dedicated fans who would keep quiet, nowadays they play bigger venues and i don't imagine their music to work as well in places that can hold a couple of thousand people
