The legendary, Duluth-based slowcore trio Low (Alan Sparhawk, Mimi Parker, Steve Garrington) known by its mesmerizingly creeping soundscape has issued a 4-track live release being shot at St. Catherina Cathedral in Eindhoven on January of 22, 2009, joined by lots of local guest musicians and instruments - a full, 5-piece choir, analog synth, Hammond organ, piano, and vibraphone. The gig included such tracks as Monkey, Silver Rider, July, Laser Beam. So the two tracks taken from the Things We Lost In Fire (2001, Kranky) and the another two from Great Destroyer (2005, Sub Pop), respectively. As they introduced yourselves in as a new approach in the North America-based indie scene approximately 2 decades ago their power is lost nowhere to date - the gig is suggestively slow and blissfully hypnotic, reminiscent of the milieu of silent time at the end of a year being closely related to the forthcoming Christmas time and lots of huge snowdrifts. So let`s enjoy it and waiting for the trio`s brand new heavy C`mon.
