a new low

i cannot even begin to describe the excitement ive just found myself in:

Low, one of my all time top ten bands. from duluth, mn. is releasing another record! oh dear. the band has been around for 15 years or so with two main members: alan sparhawk and his wife mimi parker. alan does vocals and guitar, mimi vocals and drums. originally the bassist was john nicholas, but he left and then zak sally was the bassist for years and years. after their last album, the great destroyer, zak left the band, and low fans everywhere were saddened. now, alan did come around an put out an album of him and his guitar stuff, but it just wasent the same.

until now.

they have a new album coming, this time with matt livingston as their bassist. the album is called drums and guns. you can listen to a song from it here, called breaker. its brilliant. its got the transcendent vocals, a beautiful chord progression on the organ, wondrous guitar lines, a little bit of clapping and some amazing drum beats being laid down. way to go mimi!

the album comes out on the 20th of march.
