Low - Things We Lost In The Fire (2001)
A very sad day today with the passing of Mimi Parker. I was totally taken by surprise and devastated to hear of her losing her battle with Ovarian Cancer at just 55.

commentsThe themes were: R.I.P. , Break Up, Kiwi
commentsAnother faultless record from these Duluth-based, slow-core pioneering Mormons. (Incidentally, Duluth was also the birth place of one Robert Zimmerman). Recently picked up by Sub Pop records this is a major leap forward in instrumental layering and accessibility.
commentsI’m really not sure about this. Low going all electronic noize with hyper-processed/distorted vocals just hasn’t got me feeling the love.
commentsThis record just shouldn’t work. News Flash: Low, the protagonists of slowcore, embrace abrasive percussive elements and discordant organ textures. What it does uphold though, is the wonderful solo and harmonised voices of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker.
commentsThe relevance of this album is obvious. It’s a simple little record of Low doing Christmas stuff. Essential themed Slowcore.
commentsThe themes were: One Word Songs. (Bonus points if led by a woman singer), Bonus Track
commentsThe themes were: Three Piece, Four Piece, Five Piece
