About

Marked by sparse instrumentation, a relaxed tempo and striking vocal harmonies, the music of Low first captivated listeners with the band's debut release, I Could Live in Hope, in 1994. The follow-up, Long Division, appeared in 1995, adding a post-punk flavor to the group's elegantly minimal songs. Low reached a wider audience with the 1996 release of their album The Curtain Hits the Cast, and in 1999 they explored more diverse instrumentation on the album Secret Name, adding piano, timpani and a string section to the mix. In 2000, Low had a hit with their rendition of "The Little Drummer Boy," which appeared in a holiday TV commercial for Gap. 2001 saw the release of Things We Lost in the Fire, hailed by many critics as one of the year's best releases and featuring guest appearances from Marc D'Gli Antoni of Soul Coughing and Shellac members Daniel Huffman and Ida Pearle. This was followed by 2002's Trust and a more up-tempo, wide-ranging album, The Great Destroyer, in 2005.

    Low with Trampled by Turtles was excellent!

    by nordicskier70 on 3/25/13Fitzgerald Theater - St Paul

    We had a wonderful time at the concert. The combination of the two bands was excellent and I enjoyed the new album. I plan on purchases as soon as I can.

    Awesome show with Trampled by Turtles

    by OffTheCharts2 on 3/25/13Fitzgerald Theater - St Paul

    Wow, this concert featured three members of TBT, and they were amazing. It was their 20th anniversary show hosted by Mark Wheat, and included a short interview half way through the show. The band members are not stellar for interviewing (kudos to MW for his efforts), many one word answers, but I guess that kind of fits the personality of their music - a little understated. They should seriously consider playing with a banjo, violin and keyboard more frequently. Created an awesome, vivid dynamic, and there was some fun interraction between the 6 people on stage. In terms of just Low, they have superior talent for live shows, the voices are gorgeous. She sings more in this new CD and it felt like a nice flow how they sang back and forth.

    Amazing show, great venue!

    by DanFromDuluth on 3/25/13Fitzgerald Theater - St Paul

    Low played an amazing set and sounded fantastic being accompanied by Trampled by Turtles members. We sat in the upper balcony in the first row, but still felt like we had a really good view of the band! This was our first experience at the Fitz and we had a great time!

    Low concert New York Ethical School

    by dssherman on 3/22/13The Concert Hall - New York

    The woman has a lovely, haunting voice. Why she doesn't sing lead on more songs like she does on the tune, Just Make It Stop. Her drumming is an insult to the paying audience. The band should add a drummer for diversity to their original repertoire. Also the trio needs to develop some stage presence. Are they having a good time?

    Mercuria & the Gemstars; Low

    by cph4 on 9/26/11Bluebird Theater - Denver

    Denver-local Mercuria & the Gemstars were superb, in their biggest show that I know of to date. Low, clearly an acquired taste that I hadn't yet, so, hmm. Interesting. I'll take Gem's drummer over Low's...any day!

    Low - Beautiful show

    by jlwhite68 on 9/26/11Bluebird Theater - Denver

    This was an amazingly beautiful show, with stunning harmonies, tight arrangements and an overall solid performance from four true professionals. From the first song there seemed an inherent sadness to Low's music - "Nothing But Heart' was a hauntingly beautiful and building opening piece. And it just got better and better. Amazing that a simple snare and tom can add so much depth to a song. Subtle brilliance!

    great guitar sound, ethereal harmonies...i was in heaven. its a shame this husband and wife duo haven't made more inroads into the pop music scene. but at least that means its easy to get a ticket/good seat to the concerts.

    Spot On...

    by shoegazerboy on 9/19/11Aladdin Theater - Portland

    They were amazing live. Their voices were spot on. The only thing was they didn't play one old song during the entire set. I was hoping to hear some classics.
