Loved this. The dreamiest of indie dream pop. I could sit in this vibe forever. Rating: 5 Playlist track: Sunflower Date listened: 15/12/24
I'm a Minnesota guy so these are my people, and I always liked Low. I last saw them live in the early 2000s, actually might have been touring this album? Very sad to hear Mimi Parker's lovely voice and be reminded of her absolutely tragic, far too early death. This goddamn world.
This is really nice. When I saw "Low" the first thing that came to me was that song by Cracker, although I couldn't remember who sang it or whether the song was called that or the band, so that was what I was expecting going in. Thank goodness it wasn't that. This is mellow, somber, melancholic, and beautiful. Will listen again. 4 stars.
Low is one of those bands who I constantly do a disservice to by not remembering how excellent and varied their discography is. While I prefer the more experimental, uptempo outings as of late, this band always LPs straight from the heart – there's not a second on this album that doesn't feel genuine and crafted with care. Nice to hear a band out there that's still making music for music's sake, great add!
This was really excellent. Haunting and elegant, if a bit slow moving at times. Fave Songs: Like a Forest, In Metal, Sunflower, Dinosaur Act, Whitetail, Laser Beam
Rating: 6/10
A very chill little album that was quite beautiful but did not leave a huge impression on me. May be a tougher nut to crack.
Hmm
Eh, average. 3/5.
The whole album, I thought something was missing. But at the end, on "In Metal", I heard what I was waiting for all along. Some build-up and a bit of 'schwung' as we like to say here.
Slowcore, dream pop. Rollo. Un 2.
