Low
Brandon Flowers may have usurped them both to become indie rock’s best known Mormon, but Low’s central members, Mimi Parker and Alan Sparhawk, still reign supreme in the art of making music that sounds like a slow-motion replay of a pin...
Low : Canada
Clearly inspired by The Datsuns’ fine example, the habitually quiet Low return with something of a rock divertissement . Okay, there’s little in the way of hair-shaking riffs and surgically applied demin, but considering Low ’s records...
Low : Trust
There's no escaping it - the sixth album from Low rocks. Sure, it rocks quietly, intermittently. But forget the received knowledge that says these Minnesotan minimalists have resolved to spend eternity teasing hushed chords from their...

Secret Name
They once seemed like the end of a line. No-one could be quieter, slower, or more total an inversion of rock'n'roll common practice than Duluth , Minnesota's Low. In the early '90s, treading gently in the wake of Galaxie 500 , Slint and...
