Don’t call them “Slow-core” they apparently hate that pigeonhole. Low are a minimalist group fronted by Alan Sparhawk (guitar and vocals) and Mimi Parker (drums and vocals) from Duluth Minnesota. The groups strengths are mainly focused around the vocal harmonies of these two and are often accented with noise and other interesting sound elements. The latest release Drums and Guns is a clearly aimed at the present dismal state of affairs in this world of ours. The songs are slow tragic and beautifully rendered and encourage the silent attention of the listener. We really like the harmonies on the song “Sandinista” and the band (very cool) offer you a listen to all the songs on their website before purchasing.
