Low
Low, The Great Destroyer
LP, Sub Pop in USA, Rough Trade in UK/EU
Low, of the long melodies and sweet harmonies, created
a bit of lowkey fuss when this was released over a year ago
in the US. There was big, thick, guitar in there! Rock out
guys! Well, in fact, it is very much a Low thing and they
haven't actually gone heavy metal or anything and at least
half the songs have more muted guitar work.
It is a sweet thing. In tracks like the opening 'Monkey'
the distortion adds a nice edge while Alan and Mimi craft
their harmonies over the top with Mimi sounding particularly
angelic.
You can catch a conversation with Alan as well as bits of
the opening and closing tracks from next month's (June 06) main
Mstation Podcast.
