Low, the Indie-rock group from Duluth, Minnesota, has announced a new album, HEY WHAT, due Sept. 10 via Sub Pop Records. With this announcement, the trio has also shared the album’s first single, “Days Like These,” which you can listen to below. This is the band’s first album since 2018’s Double Negative. On top of that, the band has announced a tour for next year, starting in Bloomington, IN, on March 22. The tour will continue for three months and include dates in Canada and Europe. Check out the full dates below.
“The new album finds the group focusing on their craft, staying out of the fray, and holding fast their faith to find new ways to express the discord and delight of being alive, to turn the duality of existence into hymns we can share,” reads the bands press release. “These 10 pieces—each built around their own instantaneous, undeniable hook—are turbocharged by the vivid textures that surround them. The ineffable, familiar harmonies of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker break through the chaos like a life raft. Layers of distorted sound accrete with each new verse—building, breaking, colossal then restrained, a solemn vow only whispered. There will be time to unravel and attribute meaning to the music and art of these times, but the creative moment looks FORWARD, with teeth.”
