yeah there's a bunch of really good and really different sets floating around
"don't walk away" (from that earlier live video) is quite nice, can't wait to hear what mutant form these songs take

can someone post the site that archived all the Friday I'm in Lows they've been doing over the past year? i thought I'd bookmarked it but no.
I am listening to the version of "Coattails" from the set that maelin posted, it might be one of my favorite Low songs, and of course it's just unspeakably beautiful.

It's too bad all that $$$$ they spent on Rogan meant they can't afford to hire people to clean up data errors like this.

they really did play most/all of the album during the It's Friday I'm In Low sessions over the last year, looking at the titles - stoked to hear what the studio versions are going to be like.(Don't Archive have a track called "Again" that ends with a long section where that was the only word that kept being repeated? Haven't heard it in a while, could be wrong)
― StanM, Tuesday, 22 June 2021 05:05 (two years ago) link
Yeah I really like the second half - pushes them further in the ambient electronic direction, but lighter than the ambient moments on Double Negative. first half is a very different song, it's alright
― Vinnie, Tuesday, 22 June 2021 05:07 (two years ago) link
i like how they're kinda doing a quiet/loud thing with their immense digital distortion now
― ufo, Tuesday, 22 June 2021 05:12 (two years ago) link
i imagine the studio versions will be pretty different if "days like these" is any indication bc they're not even doing the double negative tour levels of walls of distortion in those streamed performances, let alone what they've managed in the studio
― ufo, Tuesday, 22 June 2021 05:21 (two years ago) link
looking through tracklists for the friday i'm in low performances and they've at least played eight tracks from the album, and another five new ones that aren't on it (or were renamed etc.)

& apparently steve is no longer in the band, sounds like this record is just them as a duo?
― ufo, Tuesday, 22 June 2021 11:37 (two years ago) link
according to alan, steve left before they made this album because he had "very understandable personal reasons" that meant he would no longer be able to tour
― ufo, Tuesday, 22 June 2021 11:56 (two years ago) link
this track is awesome, and yes it's all about the multi stage ambient second half
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Tuesday, 22 June 2021 12:34 (two years ago) link
I love "Days Like These," and I extra love that I totally hear how it could have been a left-field "hit" if they got rid of the distortion and gave it a peppy drum beat, but no, this is Low.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 22 June 2021 12:49 (two years ago) link
They are becoming quite fond of big choruses/hooks of late (see also "disarray")

they don't seem to have announced an official new bassist yet, don't know if it's going to be cyrus or someone else

just occurred to me that they've never stuck with the same producer this long, I don't think? without actually looking this up I think Albini, Fridmann and Kramer all did two apiece?

Adore “days like these”. It feels like it weaves together some of the sonic ideas of the last two albums in a really satisfying way.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 22 June 2021 20:16 (two years ago) link
Agreed w/ the praise for the second half of the new track
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Tuesday, 22 June 2021 23:35 (two years ago) link
the first half reminds me of how i felt upon first listening to The Great Destroyer when it came out

really wish they'd put out a live album of the double negative tour, the alternate live takes of those tracks are very cool
