Low Lows - Five Ways I Didn't Die

Found this lovely live take of a new Low Lows track Five Ways I Didn't Die from their second LP Little Tigers . It has a kind of acoustic shuffle, its like a long lost Sun recording, a missing demo of a Elvis track with lyrics by Van Dyke Parks and vocals by Lou Reed. Lets hope of the whole LP is up to this standard. Enjoy !

Fire on the Bright Sky - Low Lows

Monotreme Records

The Low Lows have arisen from the ashes of NYC dream pop band Parker & Lily. I have to whisper it quietly. I can’t quite believe what I am hearing. The ghost of Galaxy 500 haunts the grooves of this record. The mesh of melody and noise, the languid grace, blissed out chord progressions and dark undertows. Think the Velvet Underground drinking with Big Star. These songs hang suspended in heavenly reverb. PL Noon’s weary croak slides in-between the guitar storms and organ flashes. Restless, burnished, bruised and beautiful.
