New Low Album in 2013

2012-12-23 by Aids | 47 Comments
Indie-rock giants Low have announced that they will celebrate their 20 years as a band with the release of a new LP in 2013. The new album, titled 'The Invisible Way' is being produced by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy in their Chicago studio, known as The Loft. In a recent press release, frontman Alan Sparhawk says that the new songs are "about intimacy, the drug war, the class war, plain old war war, archaeology and love." The album will be released in the UK on March 18th by Sub-Pop records (March 19th in the U.S.).

For those that will have a hard time waiting that long, Low have released a free, six song live EP, entitled 'Plays Nice Places'. It features a brand new song and a guest appearance by Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard.

A trailer for the upcoming LP can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2swv0SQI_C4. The EP can be downloaded for free at http://pitchfork.com/news/48735-low-announce-new-album-the-invisible-way-produced-by-wilcos-jeff-tweedy/.

haha I was waiting for someone to mention the affiliations. I'm not crazy about them either, though I have no idea what Tweedy is like as a producer.

lol

a lot of guys are mentioning Gibbard like "oh damn that sucks but I'll still like the album"

did you actually read the article? they just released a free live EP (which you should all get instead of just saying "sweet") and Ben Gibbard is on ONE of those songs. The album will be nothin but Low (with Jeff Tweedy at the knobs in more ways than one amirite?!?!?!!?).

"haven't really got round to listening to their more recent stuff but i could live in hope and things we lost in the fire are two of my favourite albums"

definitely check out 2011's "C'Mon" (cmon dude). It was my first Low album and it's what got me into them. I'd now call them one of my favourite bands, and while I Could Live in Hope and Things We Lost in the Fire are "better", I have a huge soft spot for that album. It has some of their best songs, and it's a real grower.

the trailer for the new album sounds pretty fucking good, I'm pumped for March 2013. new Low and Laura Stevenson albums hell yeahhhhh!!

I'm not so sure about that, I still haven't heard a few of their albums. I'm just trying to have a discussion but I don't think sputnik is about that really anymore.

"c'mon was kinda disappointing, hoping this will be reminiscent of their older material "

C'Mon grew on me quite a bit. It's one of my favourites now. Have you watched the trailer? You get like a 20 second clip from the album and it sounds pretty damn awesome.

it leaked already? that's pretty early. damn.

riff, I admittedly have a soft spot for C'Mon because it was my first Low album, but it's stayed one of my favourites of theirs over time. I don't know, I think the new album could be a continuation in the same direction and potentially really really good.

(very tentative ranking, as I just finished their discog last night):

I Could Live in Hope
Things We Lost in the Fire
Trust
The Great Destroyer = C'Mon (can't separate here)
The Curtain Hits the Cast (but "...Waltz?" is maybe my favourite song of theirs)
Long Division
Secret Name
Drums and Guns (the only one I didn't enjoy that much)

sweet

I like Trust a lot, thanks for playing though

on a serious note though, why is Drums and Guns so highly rated? I guess I'll give it some more spins, but my first impressions were not positive at all. not bad, just not the quality I'm used to from them.

and The Great Destroyer isn't that amazing but "Death of a Salesmen" is such a good fucking song so it gets bumped up like 2 spots.

I like it a lot. The album leaked already and I have it downloaded, but I'm not going to listen to it for a while. Or, I'm going to try not to.
