Low - Ones and Sixes

Low’s atmospheric eleventh studio album offers fans plenty of diverse songs that are nostalgic enough to remind of their earlier albums such as ‘Long Division’, however simmering with a wonderful electronic undercurrent. While echoing guitars are at the forefront of the tracks featured, ‘Ones and Sixes’ distinguishes itself from earlier records in that it’s built on a foundation of diverse electronic sounds. From the rhythmic yet minimalist electronic beats found in ‘Congregation’ and ‘Into You’.

Low’s longevity does mean that some of the tracks feel repetitive, however, Mimi Parker’s excellent vocal contribution provides the perfect balance to Alan Sparhawk’s lead. Examining themes that appear in many of the band’s releases such as spirituality and our uneasiness with the listeners’ own emotions at times, top tracks include ‘What Part of Me’ and ‘Lies’.
