Things We Lost in the Fire (CD)
Things We Lost In The Fire has songs that are lush ('In Metal') and songs that are naked ('Whitetail') and adds a layer of fuzz and distortion ('Dinosaur Act'). Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker's voices remain at the center of Low's music; Zak Sally's bass anchors the whole with carefully placed pauses making every second count. After five albums Low have moved beyond tags like "slowcore"; pace is not nearly as important now as placement. This double-vinyl version has a gatefold sleeve, with all analog production, and features two extra tracks (taken from Low's last UK single).

| It is hard to come close to matching the awsome force of Secret Name, but Low came pretty damn close! Low is the kind of band that likes to reinvent themselves with each record. Things We Lost in the Fire is at times quite a bit louder than before, but it seems a natural progression for these three gifted souls. From the beginning with Sunflower, to the bitter end, this record is a testament to Low's innovation in the musical field. No one can deny Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parkers amazing harmonizing ability. It is as if they were made for each other, personally and musically. | |

| whereas secret name was the crushing soundtrack for driving your car off of a cliff, the new record is situated on somewhat of a different precipice. it's not bad, although, i think, low, more than any other band that i know of, have released successive records with such congruity in terms of the overall aesthetic and sound, that i'm somewhat disappointed with this. it fails to somehow bring that sense of dispair to that next level like the other releases did. and that's pretty much a fair gripe, right? i mean, this is a band that sings a song with the words, "there's a message out tonight, but no one's looking at the sky." pretty profound, i'll say. i like to think of this band as the post-modern recreation of the mamas and the papas or something. thumbs up. | |
