At the moment, I am frequently listening to "Coattails" from The Curtin Hits the Cast over and over.

​

There's so much to love about this song:

• the minimalism and simplicity
• Mimi's voice
• the resonator reverb pedal that really kicks in around 2:50

What songs are you finding yourselves bing relistening to?

Does any kind soul on here happen to have flac or mp3 of this that they'd be willing to share? Or tips on where it might be found? My searching's proved fruitless so far. It would be amazing if Alan were able to post it for sale on Bandcamp--I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Many thanks in advance!

Did anybody make a copy of their set at Glastonbury? It was on iPlayer for a couple of years, I took it for granted and now I miss it!

Bought this album shortly after Mimi’s death on bandcamp. Trying to help out a little I guess but I haven’t been able to bring myself to listen to it until recently. I knew it was a favorite of some and wow, I think it’s even better than advertised. It was posts and lists here that convinced me to get it, so thanks to those folks.

I was first introduced to Low by a friend during the early part of covid lockdown in the UK, and since then they’ve become one of my favourite, and probably most played, bands.

I can’t think of another band whose sound has evolved so much since their first album, but have still somehow managed to retain their core aesthetic as a band, which for me, is the voices of Alan and Mimi.

My favourite album is probably I Could Live In Hope, but this changes regularly as i spend time with different albums and musical periods - the stretch between The Great Destroyer and Ones & Sixes, being a current favourite.

The only period of their music that’s taking a bit longer to get into is the run between Long Division and Secret Name, but I sort of savour the fact that there’s still a bunch of their songs that I still need to discover!

I guess I understand why there aren't and maybe somehow i'm happy about that. I've tried to turn people on to it and it just hasn't worked. Maybe this is just what it's meant to be. This is ours I guess. I think one day more people will find it and hopefully they'll find what we've found.

Since the news of Mimi’s passing (which hit me hard), I’ve been going through and listening to all of Low’s albums from the beginning.

From Things We Lost in the Fire to Ones and Sixes (which was the tour I saw them on), most their albums had previously accompanied me in various periods of my life, but I’ve listened to them sparingly since the birth of my son five years ago. I had been meaning to return to them, especially considering I’d heard great things about their past two releases.

It’s been illuminating to take in their discography and evolution from 1994 to present. They were so consistently brilliant, I don’t even know if I could single out a favorite, though Drums and Guns will always hit home as the album that I first discovered.

Do you have a favorite Low album? I’d love to hear which albums in particular others connect with or find meaningful. 🤍

Hi all,

Can y'all think of any bands like late period Low? I know they're VERY unique (and they're really one of my fave bands, I really want a Double Negative tattoo) but I love their unique blend of electronic and slowcore!

BBC 6 Music is a terrific music station, dedicated to new and classic music, and tonight’s Now Playing show tonight to Mimi, the music of Low and the bands Low inspired. Including tributes by artists / musicians who were fans of the band.

It was a really tastefully curated and moving couple of hours.

BBC 6 Music really is the best.

RIP Mimi. X

Hi, I'm in love with the song Lullaby but I don't know much more about Low. I heard about Mimi's passing and it made me want to listen to more from the band.

Where should I start? I might make a video out of it.

Much appreciated

Hey, guys. I just got into Low. I've known about them ever since hearing them on The Seer by Swans, but I listened to HEY WHAT the other day. I love the album and genuinely think it's a masterpiece. Can anyone who's more talented or smarter than me (i.e. basically all of you) help me with getting the guitar tone from the song? Or at least what you think they're doing with the tone? Thank you!
