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.

    Best Low show I've seen, and I've seen a few!

    by psikahn on 6/27/13Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn

    This was the best Low show I've been to, and I've seen them about 8 times! Incredibly tight and emotive performance. Harmonies so rich you could scarcely believe it was two voices. Excellent setlist. One of the most emotional shows I've ever been to by any band.

    Far Exceeded Expectations

    by SwifteeDC on 6/24/13Sixth & I Historic Synagogue - Washington

    I decided late to see Low, largely to spend time with a friend and experience the 6th & I venue and I felt very fortunate to have been at the show. The band was perfectly synchronized - musically and emotionally. And they were so humble and human. Don't miss any chance to see this band in an intimate setting.

    Great band. The vocals and music are hypnotic at times. Very happy to have seen them in such an intimate atmosphere.

    Beautiful and Cathartic

    by maccorf on 6/19/13Sixth & I Historic Synagogue - Washington

    I've been listening to Low for about 10 years now, but I had never be able to see them live until now. This was the absolutely perfect show to see them for the first time; the setting was incredible and suits their musical style perfectly, and the setlist was all I could reasonably ask for when it comes to a band with a library as large as Low's. Sparhawk and Parker's voices were impeccable, and all the arrangements were familiar yet uniquely "live." I would do this again in a heartbeat. A+

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

    Low had 3 members of another band playing with them. Low does not need any help. the xtra musicians on stage were distracting and added nothing. in fact the banjo player was positioned front and center essentially blocking my view of Mimi on drums. this was a huge blunder as the spotlight was often on Mimi for her lovely vocals. I and others near the a stage could not see her. I bought my ticket very early to secure a good seat which I thought I had until I arrived and was told all seating was general, so I had to rush in to find a decent seat which turned out to suck big time. all in all a miserable evening of music from one of my favorite bands.

    Low at the Fitz

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

    Great show, the combo with Trampled by Turtles guys was a good sound that helped fill out many of the new songs. Good video shots behind them, just good overall experience.

    Great, mystical show. 89.3 current's DJ was annoying though.

    Low at the Fitzgerald-can we repeat?

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

    The show was really quite stellar. It was enjoyable to listen to their first set, after having listened to their new CD multiple times over the week. Their second set was devoted to their other music. Members of Trampled by Turtles, Ryan, Dave Carroll, and Tim were onstage and brought a poignancy to many of the songs. Ryan's violin often straddled the melancholic tones of Low. Great idea!
