Welcome everyone, to an ESPECIALLY beautiful Thursday evening, here on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. Today, we will be taking a look at the band of the week, and a track that I've been addicted to since I was a very small child. So prepare to bury yourself in the supersonically delicious sounds of the band of the week, Low.
Low is a band that was formed in 1993, in Duluth, Minnesota. The group consists of Alan Sparhawk, Mimi Parker and Steve Garrington. Their sound is often described as "slow-core", but this is a label the band especially hates. They have been quoted as saying, "this friend of ours in a record store was always joking around...and he said, 'I got it! You should call it "slowcore"!'...It was a total joke, and I think I mentioned it at one of our interviews."
The band has released 8 full length albums and 5 EPs. Here is a couple tracks from their album's Drums & Guns, The Great Destroyer and Things We Lost In The Fire (not to be mistaken with the movie of the same name).
Sunflower - Low
Sunflower - Norman Nehmetallah (Low Cover)
Breaker - Low
California - Low
I just realized how much I really do enjoy this song. It's incredibly annoying, and kind of makes me want to rip my hair out, but it's still REALLY good.
Brandy (You're A Fine Girl) - Looking Glass
By the way, I'm leaving for a four day graduation trip (I'll be gone from Saturday to Tuesday), so either I'll be writing a completely monumental, epic post tomorrow OR I'll have some guest contributors for those days.
Thanks for your continued support.
