Low - 'Ones and Sixes' (September 2015)

Trust is a good one for newbies not only because it rules but because it touches on everything they'd done up to that point as well as signposting their noisier stuff to come

at one point a friend had made a compilation of all their super slowcore stuff, which I loved, and of course, lost. But that Broadway song convinced me to start digging into the Sub Pop material.
their Springsteen cover is breathtaking imo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWIorQ_Fgxk

Drums & Guns still my favorite. C'mon is underrated.

I still haven't properly listened to everything pre-D&G, but it's nice knowing that it's there.

they're one of the few artists where i've got to run to the store and grab up the new one the day its released.

i got this version of Ones and Sixes on vine, with the owl outer sleevel:

their Rihanna cover is great too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lchC5sQepqE

their version of "Lord Can You Hear Me" might be the definitive one. They're a great covers band.

Low 4ever

thanks guys!

i haven't heard c'mon but i want to at some point bc "try to sleep" is one of their best ever songs. forever getting around to exploring this discography totally bc i'm pretty sure i'd have a nervous breakdown somewhere in the middle

oh fuck this means you've never heard "Especially Me" which is maybe my favorite Mimi song

as it happens, c'mon is the only one i've got, though i haven't really listened much --- i think i used to have TWLITF and songs for a dead pilot but they both got lost in the fire the purchase of a new computer

oh fuck this means you've never heard "Especially Me" which is maybe my favorite Mimi song

love this one

joining in on the Low rulez chorus, they're basically the only band that i will see any time they come to town. 7 or 8 shows and not a single dud, highlights include an acoustic set in a beautiful church

someone help me out with this - they did a guest vocal on an ambient electronic track a year or two ago and I've been itching to hear it again but I forget who the principal artist was.

C'mon is incredible! I think it's my favorite Low record.

Trentemøller - the dream? Xpost

that's the one! thanks.

it's really hard to write a song about parenthood that's beautiful and touching and grim and maybe a bit macabre at the same time but they really did it on "In Metal"

wait i HAVE heard "especially me"! i don't remember when, but i remember thinking at the time that emmylou harris should cover it

some days Mimi is one of my fave vocalists.

i love how their first song from their first album is so perfect

3. this album has the deepest bass i've heard in indie rock

Thx for reminding me to go back to this. 'Landslide' is my fav this time around, it's the 10 min vamp-to-infinity track a la 'Nothing But Heart'.

omg the bass in "lets say together" lol

Time for a new album, maybe? They're touring next month so maybe something's in the works. Would be great to hear some new stuff. I've been playing their recent albums a lot lately and while I still can't really get behind Ones and Sixes I think C'mon is a masterpiece.

In other news, Sparhawk is playing in a Velvet Underground tribute band. That would be something to see.

I think C'mon is a masterpiece.

They played here a few months ago with a half dozen new tunes. Album out later this year.

C’mon is absolutely the high-watermark of their current era.

"spanish translation" is all-time

A splendid winter album, this is.

A splendid winter album, this just about every Low album is.
