New Low - "Breaker"
Sup Pop has been good enough to share the third track from Low's Drums And Guns, featuring doubled Sparhawk vox and Mimi harmonies set to a porous mix of sustained organ, backwards guitars, and some flat EQ'd drum slaps. On first listen, the record lived up to Alan's warning that Drums And Guns is "all about killing," and the hollow-boned vibe of this track is a good score to lines like "our bodies break and our blood just spills and spills/but here we sit debating math." Big things on his mind this time out, kids -- but we'll take a lesson in homicide from Low any day.

Reminds me of the alternate version of "I Remember" (the Mimi version). Love dem handclaps, though.
Score = 0
Low is great. Cool effect on the drum programming with how the eq curve changes here and there. Actually, sounds like someone playing a drum machine by hand.
The song weirdly reminds me of TV On The Radio. Lyrics are a little iffy, but that's how it goes with politicalish stuff. Nice, though.
Score = 0
really love this album
