Stream the documentary, by Dutch tv/documentary maker David Kleijwegt, here. I found the pacing, the performances and the confessional nature of this portrait of Low (mainly Alan Sparhawk) really engaging. Mimi usually fades to the background unless she's singing in performance. Her candor in this documentary reveals her personality and her qualities that probably keep Sparhawk somewhat grounded. From the VPRO site: "During 2007 David Kleijwegt filmed the legendary c... MORE

The Minnesota quiet-rock trio Low have a new video, directed by Marc Gartman, out for "Breaker," a song off their latest album, Drums And Guns. One could interpret the video as an anti-war statement. In the video, front man/vocalist/guitarist Alan Sparhawk is seen wearing an army jacket, sitting at a table, stuffing his face with cake.

I am so happy that I am finally gong to get to see Low...a band that I had resigned myself to never seeing since they never, ever came to Columbus. They make such beautiful records...i am really curious to see how it translates live...
Here is the alternate version of 'Hatchet' off of their gorgeous album, 'Drums And Guns'

It's been a long time since I've posted anything up here! Hi MOG friends. (Do I still have any MOG friends?) I've been real busy working on the next Roommate album and some other projects. I won't post any samples of the album yet, but I did perform one of its tracks on the U. of Texas' KVRX radio station the day after playing at the ridiculous circus that is SXSW, and I've posted the recording here. The album version has the drum machine beats in this version plus real ... MORE

Everybody’s favorite slo-core minimalists are back with a beautiful, intense, politically-relevant album called Drums and Guns, out last week on Sub Pop. Here’s a bit from my Dusted review: “Drums and Guns has a sparse, understated beauty to it, electronically-generated rhythms under otherworldly harmonies, and subtle violence buried in the words. It's dark, lovely and slow to blossom, but leaves an impression once it does. Here are uneasy beauties, shot with anxiety b... MORE

The first thing that Low would like you to know is that you're going to die. And not in a sentimental, cushy, "Do You Realize?" sort of way, either. Your body will break and your blood will spill and spill. Throughout the length of Drums & Guns, the fantastic new offering from the band, we're constantly reminded of our own mortality. Amid sparse instrumentation and the simplest of drum machine loops, the band doesn't seem interested in comforting us with the lyrical imager... MORE

Yes, this Sunday I will be turning the big 20, which isn't as big considering the big 21 is right around the corner after that. The keywords here, though, are "this Sunday." April 8th. Not today, April 3rd. My mog already shows me as being 20. I don't really care all that much, just thought it was weird. So for awhile there it was touch and go for me with music. It seemed like nothing new and great was coming out. Now there are quite a few releases and my ultimate conclu... MORE

It's still a week shy of April, but these albums of 2007 to date are keeping my faith in new music:
"Wincing The Night Away" - The Shins
"Neon Bible" - Arcade Fire
"We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank" - Modest Mouse
"Drums and Guns" - Low
"Sex Change" - Trans Am
"Friend Opportunity" - Deerhoof
I might do personal assesments of a few of them later on, when I get more inspired.
Good day!

One of my favorite bands on the planet is FINALLY coming out with their new record next Tuesday. I am talking about Minnesota's Low. This is their follow up to 'The Great Destroyer'...one of the finest cd's in my collection I have only listened to it twice all the way through, and its quickly becoming my favorite cd of 2007 so far. It is just brilliant...the kind of music that sticks with you after hearing it...in the best way possible. Its haunting and beautiful at the ... MORE
