i just felt like every time i've had the record on they've resolved differently, maybe something to do with the harmonic interval, or maybe just my busted old ears.

Right. Disappearing is coming out tomorrow and that tweet screenshot IS from the video.

"Disappearing" was not a song that caught me much so far but it works great with those visuals

Did anyone ever buy that Japanese Double Negative for the bonus track? I heard it on a radio show, that bonus track, but I'd love to have a CD rip of it without paying 50 bucks for the one song.

you should be able to find it, "it's all been done", on soulseek
― ufo, Monday, 2 August 2021 03:44 (two years ago) link
Damn, you weren't messing around. I haven't used Soulseek for 15 years, but right there it was. Appreciate your help, ufo.

That pedal chain is awesome but, phew, probably $1300 of boutique box effects.

still can't get over how good the guitar on "white horses" is

have been going through rarities i'd never heard before and wow "half light" sure is unique in their catalogue. kinda reminds me of songs of faith and devotion?
― ufo, Sunday, 15 August 2021 04:42 (two years ago) link
oh yeah, that Mothman Prophecies OST thing, right - hadn't heard that in a long time. you're not wrong!

that's an interesting video -- all fake, plastic, manufactured tools and items, but with real human force to drive them to use them, all for nothing

I had to go look up The Knife's Handyman video to see how similar I remember it being (not very)

Exploring Peter Rehberg's catalog since I had only heard a few things over the years, this song reminds me too much of Double Negative (specifically the noisy part of "Tempest") not to share here:

Only one more week. I've put off listening to anything form this so far, after Double Negative I want to wait and savor the whole thing.

The same thing as ever ; great early on and got worse as they progressed.

hhhYYOOOOOoooooooonk
you make a good point i guess i'd never thought of it that way.
― diamonddave85 (diamonddave85), Saturday, 4 September 2021 17:24 (two years ago) link
welp, you've convinced me - I'm no longer a fan. Thanks!
― StanM, Saturday, 4 September 2021 18:22 (two years ago) link
they did start out really well
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 4 September 2021 18:24 (two years ago) link
but an attack is followed by a decay. that's the physics of sound. the decay may be sustained, but in will eventually be released. i think we know what stage of low we're at now
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 4 September 2021 18:25 (two years ago) link
seeing their release show next weekend. intimate affair in the woods (~250 attendees? if that?). stoked
― global tetrahedron, Saturday, 4 September 2021 20:12 (two years ago) link
"the same thing as ever" is really funny to say about a band that has made shifts in their sound as radical as double negative & drums and guns

Always hitting a new LOW

More goes really hard and I love it.
― Van Horn Street, Saturday, 4 September 2021 23:37 (two years ago) link
I haven’t paid attention to them since Long Division, since their sound did nothing for me (I was all about beats n’bass in 1996), and just figured since then it’s been 25 years of the same. Boy was I wrong!!! :(

don't feel this. they are one of the few bands who got better
― Dan S, Sunday, 5 September 2021 02:21 (two years ago) link
their best periods are their early stuff & this current one
― ufo, Sunday, 5 September 2021 02:29 (two years ago) link
Haven't heard the new one yet, but I don't care for their avant stuff. I like them soft & mellow.
― joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Sunday, 5 September 2021 05:15 (two years ago) link
btw the new (touring, at least) bass player is Liz Draper

xp you probably won't like the new one then, it's the loudest they've ever been. imo it's one of their very best though
― ufo, Sunday, 5 September 2021 06:59 (two years ago) link
Low have made one of my favorite albums of the decade for every decade they’ve existed. Curtain (90s), Fire (00s), Double Negative (10s).
― sctttnnnt (pgwp), Sunday, 5 September 2021 18:20 (two years ago) link
