| | Low Lifetime Of Temporary Relief (10 Years Of B-Sides And Rarities) CD Low Discography of CDs
This release includes a 32-page booklet and a bonus DVD featuring music videos, live footage, and a series of documentaries by Marc Gartman.
Low: Alan Sparhawk (vocals, guitar); Mimi Parker (vocals, drums); Zak Sally (bass guitar).
While many artists release B-sides and rarities that are often little more than curiosities, the Duluth, Minnesota band Low consistently issued excellent non-album tracks on various singles and compilations during the course of its first 10 years together (1993-2003). For an indie group with such a seemingly limited palette--male/female vocals, guitar, bass, and spare percussion--the trio is surprisingly dynamic, with songs ranging from trademark slow, minimal pieces to gentle folk tunes to, yes, even punked-out rock numbers.
Of the 50-plus tracks featured here, more than a dozen are covers, ranging from a reverb-laden take on Wire's "Heartbeat" to an intentionally bad rendition of Journey's "Open Arms," with tunes by the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, the Smiths, Spacemen 3, and others scattered throughout the collection. Both the quality and wealth of material here is staggering--not only is this three-CD/one-DVD set essential for any Low fan, but it's sure to convert those curious about this beloved post-rock ensemble.
3cds-"10 Years Of B-Sides & Rarities" + DVD.
Rolling Stone (p.81) - "The slow, lucent majesty of the Duluth, Minnesota trio, Low was in place from day one..."
Spin (p.123) - "[A] collection of sparkling, slow-mo originals and covers..."
Q (p.135) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[E]nchanting....[With a] soft, uniquely beautiful sound."
Uncut (p.118) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Low are masters of their art, because playing slowly, gracefully and with a mournful air is the only way, really, they know how."
Magnet (p.96) - "[The set] proves Low has more in common with Yo La Tengo than Nick Drake. The band is technically impressive and has a keen ear for covers..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.110) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[H]ere's proof that the side-catalogue of the quintessential quiet-is-loud band comes bounteously appointed and fathomlessly beautiful." Lifetime Of Temporary Relief (10 Years Of B-Sides And Rarities) Music
