Low – Holy Ghost
Biography
Duluth, Minnesota, United States (1993 – present)
Their music is commonly described as “slowcore,” a subgenre characterised by slow tempos and minimalist arrangements. They are one of the earlier bands to adopt and popularize the style, making them considerable contributors to the slowcore movement. (It is worth noting that the band dislikes this label. In an interview Alan Sparhawk says of descriptions of their music: “What’s the cheesiest? Slow-core. I hate that word. The most appropriate is anything that uses the word minimal in it, but I don’t think anybody’s made one up for that”) Parker and Sparhawk’s striking vocal harmonies represent perhaps the group’s most distinctive element.
History
The band formed in the spring of 1993. Sparhawk had been playing in the Duluth, Minnesota, band Zen Identity. That band needed a new bassist, and Nichols was recruited. At that time, Nichols was a senior at Superior Senior High School in nearby Superior, Wisconsin, and bassist in the band Lorenzo’s Tractor.

Best listened to turned up really loud while lying in the sunlight shining on your bed in mid-afternoon, half-asleep, fading in and out of consciousness.

If you don't like "low moments", then you probably are not the intended audience... Haha again I have to correct myself! You're right of course. I just meant the 'low' moments are just a bit stale, they disrupt the flow of a typical Low album

Guys here is my review of Low's The Invisible Way. 6.5/10 http://bensmusicspot.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/low-invisible-way.html I felt there were some excellent songs on here but too many low moments. So Blue and On My Own are brilliant songs but Four Score and Waiting are a bit dull, they drag it down slightly. A bit disappointing after the excellent* C'mon. *I have edited this post due to the eagle eyes of III___
