I don’t know how you stop getting them
I haven’t listened to it yet, but it’s clearly the very opposite of “really average” by most accounts.
Alright captain popular
It’s literally just threads I’ve posted in and haven’t replied to.
But back to the album
ALRIGHT CAPN LAZY
well listen and judge for yourself
^ a billion times this!
I still remember buying a CD copy of ‘I could live in Hope’ when I was about 16. I had NEVER spent money on a CD without having already heard it before at a mate’s house or something but I had heard the Low cover of ‘transmission’ on a Joy Division covers record and I really loved.
I remember being in Our Price or something and holding ‘I could live in Hope’ and seeing that ‘transmission’ wasn’t on it but I really wanted it anyway and I bought it and went home feeling really really nervous OH GOD WHAT IF I’VE WASTED MY MONEY AND IT’S TERRIBLE AND I DON’T HAVE ANY MORE MONEY AND OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE.
Stuck it on as soon as I got home and within the first 10 seconds of ‘Words’ I was in love. Played that CD to death and it remains one of my favourite ever records.
So strange to thing that that was more than 20 years ago: I’ve got married and had kids and a career and stuff but I’m still really excited by the same band!
Lovely post!
Is there anyone good I can I download a hi-res copy of this? Bandcamp is still in pre-order mode, and iTunes is…iTunes.
I’ll be getting my vinyl tomorrow. Could give you the DL code?
Ah, you gent. Kind offer, but I want to give them money!
Dunno then mate. Don’t they have a DL link on chairkickers.com
?
I’m not really a downloading sort of person so ahm oot
Aha, SubPop have a digital copy on their store. Not sure why I didn’t think of that, tbh.
Yeah, that is a pretty special record.
Not feeling it yet INMYIMHO. Will give it another spin tomorrow
this sounds pretty great on first listen
bit ian william craigy in parts
That’s a great comparison
It does doesn’t it? Knew it sort of reminded me of something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. The combination of beautiful vocals, static, distortion and deconstructed sound coming apart at the seams.
Love fucking soy boys having a cry cos Low have released some songs with some chest hair. It’s just a bit of distortion ladz!!
