Low

Editor's Review:

As I’m sure groups like the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev and even Phantom Planet could attest, Dave Fridmann seems to be the man to enlist for bands looking to reinvent their sound. However, unlike those just mentioned, Low has used Fridmann’s technical prowess to simply bolster their established sound rather than drastically alter it. The inclusion of this sonic depth only strengthens the material on The Great Destroyer, adding solid amounts of backbone to this collection of concise indie pop nuggets propelled by beautiful Yo La Tengo-style boy/girl harmonies courtesy of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker. The group still remains equally powerful in the quieter moments, however, such as on the acoustic mid-life crisis yarn “Death of a Salesman.”
