Title: Drones-ville
Product review: I remember going to Low shows in the late 1990's/early 2000's and being blown away. I raved to all my friends about this band who performs haunting pop songs at a snail's pace. How much power they had, even in their minimalism! I WORE OUT their first three albums.Their newer albums, however, are just not for me. Sparhawk and Mimi's vocals are often reduced to droning harmonic weaves. And I'm sorry, but I need a musical melody more than once in a while!Sonic Youth went through this phase, too. Great, memorable albums in the 80s and 90s, then experimental, unlistenable drone-fests in the 2000s because they established themselves and "could."Hey, Low and Sonic Youth can do whatever they want. But I don't have to like it. :)
