Alan Sparhawk's of Low is on to his second record (entitled '2' - snappy!) with all out rock side project Retribution Gospel Choir. Featuring fellow Low bass player Steve Garrington and sounding like an excellent proposition in their own right '2' is much more focused, produced effort than the material you may be familiar with by Low. I think this sounds a lot like The Posies (especially the vocals) but with a nod toward the atmospheric/post-rock bands of the noughties with it's rich layers of distortions and reverberant vocals. Also features a couple of full on psyche rock outs with solos and everything. Strangely enough, this isn't too far removed from the Zak Sally stuff that came out at the end of last year. Beautifully packaged in a glacial sleeve with embossed text.
