Description
If the relative warmth and hopefulness of 2011’s C’mon and 2013’s The Invisible Way had you wondering if Low were starting to get happy on us after all these years, don’t fret — 2015’s Ones and Sixes shows that anxiety and grief are still the dominant emotions in Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker‘s world. While Low‘s two previous albums boasted production and instrumental accompaniment that brought out an emotional generosity that was a real change from the cool isolation of their best-known work, for Ones and Sixes the group and producer BJ Burton have opted for a stark and chilly sound, dominated by electronic pulsebeats and waves of polished noise that give the songs an unforgiving, alien backdrop.
