High

Low, one of the greatest indie slowcore bands ever, is back with another great album: "Drums And Guns". For long I have adored this group, mostly because of the extreme variety of their music style and of how good they can be at every one of them.

Low started in early 1993 as a grunge, post-punk sound, with a major target on the lyrics. Even then the delicious combination of Mimi Parker's and Alan Sparhawk vocal's sounded like heaven, I never heard two singing voices be so good together as these.

By the end of the last decade, they decided to improve which is now their main music style; slowcore. Slowcore can typically be very annoying, but Low had a way of their own. The rythm can be very raw, reminding us of the early post-rock days, sometimes being followed by small electronic touches. They work their music around the voice and the lyrics, and the result it's quite astonishing.

But it's live when Low really show their magic. A live concert of Low is like a zen therapy - perhaps with better results. I'll say no more and leave you with a few great videos.
