New Low Video: Love It Or Hate It?

Low's latest LP, Drums & Guns, is a near-perfect 'slowcore whirlwind', if you will. I haven't been able to stop listening to it since its release ealier this year. Now comes their new video for 'Hatchet' (Optimimi version), the third track lifted from Drums & Guns. Apparently the tune's been remixed for single's sake (the album version of the tune can be found below the YouTube clip). This time around the band has chosen to go the animated route, thanks to some help from famed political cartoonist, Scott Bateman (his official site can be found here). Love it or hate it?

Low Still Drumming Away

In case you aren't going to Ryan Adams or Teitur tomorrow, I highly suggest attending the Low gig at Bowery Ballroom.

They're probably one of the most underrated bands in recent history and put on an amazing live show! If anyone recalls, they even got to open up for Radiohead 2 nights at MSG back in '03 when Supergrass cancelled last minute. Probably not the highlight of their career, but it definitely converted me into a big fan of the Minnesotans.

News just dropped that their gazillionth album will be titled Drums & Guns and will be out in late March via Subpop. Can't wait!

In the meantime, enjoy this Low classic (from their last LP): 'Monkey' (Fog remix)
