Title: Cue the Strings
Review: Much of the hype surrounding the latest Low claimed the band's formula had changed considerably, namely the songs were faster and cheerier. Well, they tempo increased for some songs, but otherwise it didn't differ from previous releases, which is a good thing. And despite the presence of lighter fare such as California and Broadway (So Many People), the song I continually return to is the one that most closely adheres to the "old" Low, Cue the Strings. Basically, as long as Alan and Mimi are harmonizing over a heartbreaking melody, I'm happy. If anything, Destroyer feels transitional, as if the change is on the horizon. Whether or not the new Low will be as successful as the Low we all know and love remains to be seen, for now fans can rest easy.
