New Europe, Canada and US dates until the end of the year are on their site too: https://www.chairkickers.com/shows

I don't think I'll like this album though, too much fiddling. Same as Drums & Guns. Loved those songs live, but hardly ever listen to the album versions.

It seems this will be a controversial album, as "Drums And Guns" was on its day, adding bleeps, distortion and noisy elements to a sound that it's perhaps much more loved at their most organic.

According to LOW (I gather my perspective from the Bandcamp text that accompanies the pre-order info), the sound on this album is intended to reflect the current state of The United States of America, and the songs should function as well as statements and salves regarding the current times. "Drums And Guns" came from a similar sensibility, actually.

Just heard. Awesome. Psyched.

I uploaded the two Low sets to LMA for those without Dime access: https://archive.org/details/LowMusic

And also did the same with the two Mogwai sets:

(posted this on the torrent thread too, but it's more in place here perhaps)

It was an impossible choice. However, LOW has won this poll, and video of this La Blogothèque session is now on Youtube:

Someone tweeted the other day — forget who — that is this is the band’s “most experimental” album.

...

I’m fucking so goddamn excited I just want to expletive all over the place
