Delicate and hypnotic as ever, the intimate band from Duluth, Minnesota presents music from The Invisible Way – its upcoming album produced by Wilco frontman, Jeff Tweedy and due for release on 18 Mar (Sub Pop).
The Invisible Way finds Low’s majestic melancholy in full bloom yet distinguishes itself with its starker, unadorned soundscapes, layered harmonies and drummer/vocalist extraordinaire Mimi Parker singing lead on five of the 11 songs. The album tackles large issues ('the songs are about intimacy, the drug war, the class war, plain old war war, archaeology and love,' says Sparhawk) in a manner that plays a stunning counterpoint to the sublime hush of the music.
‘Low have always been in a league of their own on record but tonight they proved their output is even more intoxicating live. A must, must see’ ★★★★★The Fly
