LOW (USA)
Initially garnering attention as leaders of the ‘90s slowcore movement, LOW went on to develop a sonic repertoire that incorporated pop, R&B and dissonant rock n’ roll. The band’s seventh full-length album, The Great Destroyer is fascinating in that it blends the band’s austere melodies (On the Edge Of, Silver Rider) with an aggressive guitar onslaught (Monkey, Everybody’s Song) and even melds LOW’s varied styles together into a single song (When I Go Deaf). Co-produced by LOW and David Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev), The Great Destroyer is a welcome surprise and, in the end, a rock n’ roll revelation. Doors: 8:30pm
