I thought of you today James when I got this mail from Resident Records:-

"there are many, many artists/bands that consistently deliver for us. those that have come to help define what we think of as the beating heart of resident. those that we come back to time & time again. those that have surfed us over the highs & carried us through the lows. there is one band however, that stand out above them all. they started out long before resident was born & have been releasing albums throughout the life of the shop. they unfailingly unite derry & i. they have found their way into the hearts & souls of many a resident, past & present.

that band is the mighty, almighty….low
and on september 14th, alan, mimi & steve will return to grace our stereos with ‘double negative’."

These new songs are very deconstructed. Not sure if I like them, but props to Low for pushing hard in the direction of weirdness.

This album is pretty crazy. I sorta doubt it's something that will stick with me, but it's an interesting experiment.

I've been listening to this album a lot and I have to stay it still blows me away on every listen. The distortion on 'Tempest' just absolutely floors me. Intense wall of sound just slapping you in the face.

I love it. Especially so late in their carreer. I'm so impressed.

Not sure how it leaked this early but i am currently listening to forthcoming album 'Hey What'.

It's in a similar vein to Double Negative and right now i'm digging it. Songs segue into each other and there are chunks of noise and electronic quirks, with Alan & Mimi's vocals cutting through it all. Not sure how they'll reproduce it live mind you. On the previous tour i had my doubts as to how much of it was actually live. It was still a good gig though.

Ticket bought for Dublin next April :D

Landsliding and mountainsplitting album. And so brave. Extraordinary listening trip. Makes you eager for more brave personality among other music.

Oral history of Low in the making. The working title is "I Sang the Words I Meant: A Book about Low." Same author who wrote the book about Kranky Records. Book about Low should be out next year already.
