   Formed in 1993, Low is from Duluth, Minnesota, and features Alan Sparhawk on vocals and guitar, Mimi Parker on vocals and drums, and Matt Livingston on bass and vocals. Sparhawk and Parker are married with two children; they first met in fourth grade in rural Minnesota. Drums and Guns is the band’s eighth full-length album and second for Sub Pop. It’s also, after 2005’s The Great Destroyer, the second album they’ve recorded with producer Dave Fridmann. Drums and Guns features a number of songs that ardent Low fans will recognize from the band’s recent live shows. These songs appear here in substantially altered forms, as though they’ve been taken apart and reassembled in striking new ways, or seen with new eyes. Or, given the lyrical emphasis on murder and death, a more insightful interpretation might see the band killing these songs and bringing them back to life anew. There’s no contrivance here, however. While these songs feature new elements (looped vocals, drum machines, etc.) and are thoroughly, radiantly contemporary, they remain undeniably Low’s. Drums and Guns possesses the unique, subtle beauty and power we’ve come to expect from Low, but the record is also profoundly exciting in ways that it’s easy to forget music can be.

不知不覺也成立了十幾年了

low早就high了。。

成军于1993年,LOW的成员分别来自Duluth,Minnesota主音和吉他是Alan Sparhawk ,鼓手Mimi Parker ,Matt Livingston 负责低音部分.众所周知,前两人已经有两个孩子了(目前依然走的是slowcore,可见婚后生活确实如钱老先生写得那样,充满艰辛与琐碎,八卦一下...)这张是乐队的第八张录音室专集,也是转投到明星场牌sub pop下的第二张.这次他们依然选择了与05年的唱片the great destroyer的制作人Dave Fridmann合作.新专集给low的乐迷们携取了一些乐队成员最新的生活感触.整张唱片还是包括了众多不同的曲风,似乎low们已经决定用新的方式来为音乐取材与重组,抑或以一种新的眼触看待音乐,当然,还有生活.另外,歌词方面,low依然把重心放在死亡这样的话题上,alan与mimi作为成年人,也作为过来人,给予了这些话题更多的极具洞察力的诠释,接着,把情感释放在音乐中,带给大家.这一点是没有准备性的.尽管乐队在这张唱片中加入了一些新的元素,比如drunk之后进录音室,并采用了鼓机,而且比较彻底,但这些毫无疑问都是明显带有low的风格的.这张唱片拥有独特与细致的美,能带给我们所期望从low那里得到的音乐,但同时它也能轻易的让我们忘掉音乐本身,毕竟对生活的沉默与思考才是礼拜六下午发呆时应该干的事.

p.s.去看看the great destroyer的封面,就知道这张的封面是怎么回事了,怎么感觉这几年大家都喜欢来个大头帖,记得去年羊毛衫的nina躺在地上...做这种封面个人认为应该有传统,像morrissey,怎么看怎么舒服,不管他拿不拿机枪...

理论上讲是这样，因为一般slow的话不可能happy嘛

听了一下，刚及格吧,推荐第十首。
