4 ...according to our Clinton on 29 November 2006.
The Duluth rock behemoth Low have a new album out on Rough Trade.
This time its produced by David Fridmann (Mercury Rev etc). I
think you always have to give Low albums a long while to grow on
you. On first impression this seems as poppy a thing as they have ever
done. It still sounds like Low though despite the use of increasingly
noisy guitars. It kind of recalls Neil Young at times or the noisier
exploits of Red House Painters and you can kind of imagine some of these
songs being played on the radio - they are very immediate. Too immediate
perhaps? As always time will tell...I'm pretty sure its a great album - Low
albums invariably are.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
