Low - Things We Lost In The Fire

jimib  said about 5 years ago  or at  1:31PM on Wednesday, November 14 2007 in music

Firstly I only started using my account to post and I did a search for 'Low' but it's a fairly common word, so please don't get angry...

Who is going to the East Brunswick Club to see them in January next year? Will you see them for the Things We Lost In The Fire - Don't Look Back gig or the gig where they will be playing a mix of songs from all albums.

I'd love to go to both but at the moment short for cash. Hopefully they don't sell out too quick

last time i saw low they were a bit of a downer.

I haven't heard this album so I'm not sure if I should see them perform it live. I'm a big fan of Secret Name, how does it compare to that one?


bergholt  said about 5 years ago:

great album. i'm definitely going to see this played all the way through. not completely sure if i need to see the other one as well.


AlterEgo  said about 5 years ago:

this is my favorite low album. i'm a bit pissy that they're here the weekend i'm in tasmania. fuckers.


paulie  said about 5 years ago:

i prefer 'curtain hits the cast' personally, but 'things we lost..' seems to be regarded as the best low record.


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

i reckon they should play 'a lifetime of temporary relief'

who's up for a 4 hour gig ?


Psyclops  said about 5 years ago:

really? I thought ''Curtain'' was an established fave.

Me - I love ''Secret Name'' best. Once listened to it on repeat whilst coming back from a weekend visit to my mate in Belingen via Countrylink train. Dropped half a tab of acid and took that album in big time.


Psyclops  said about 5 years ago:

PS - booked tix for Sydney Fest show yesterday. Not for the DLB gig - I like to be surprised.


SGH  said about 5 years ago:

Totally their best album, but I'm wary of these reminisce-type gigs. Living off your past isn't cool. Rolling Stones fans might not agree.


Psyclops  said about 5 years ago:

Living off your past isn't cool.

Hence The Things We Lost In The Fire

steveholt  said about 5 years ago:

In the past haven't these concerts been the album first then an encore of them playing other songs.


jimib  said about 5 years ago:

steveholt, maybe youre right
i think ill prob just go to the things we lost, and hope they play some other songs at the end. too many bands coming out next year, i cant afford them all


anok  said about 5 years ago:

i prefer 'curtain hits the cast' personally

same. i don't dig this 'un as much.


svelteslacks  said about 5 years ago:

too many bands coming out next year, i cant afford them all

and from what i heard today, we will all be dead flat poor until at least may.

this summer is fucking outstanding for international acts.


anok  said about 5 years ago:

tease!


svelteslacks  said about 5 years ago:

i've been like an excited puppy chasing my tail all day :)


flobs  said about 5 years ago:

give us a hint, sveltes....


svelteslacks  said about 5 years ago:

no can do sorry.


percolator  said about 5 years ago:

i didnt really get into TWLITF either. weird. hey, does anyone remember if they had cds on sale last time they toured?


socks  said about 5 years ago:

You know what we need? Pavement coming out and doing one of these tours. Or The Fall. Or Stereolab.

I find this Low album really boring and moany. Bloody slow-core!

raven  said about 2 years ago:

I think TGD's not great but not bad, and in ''Pissing'' it has one of the greatest Low songs ever.
I also love Drums and Guns though.


runoutgroove  said about 2 years ago:

New album is pretty good. Seems to have a bit more of Mimi singing. There is also an acoustic EP floating about with tracks from C'mon too.

steveholt  said about 2 years ago:

Reports on new album? My rekkid player is down for the count so haven't had a listen yet.


electricsound  said about 2 years ago:

i think it's their best since trust, and their best sounding since curtain


MichaelDudikoff  said about 2 years ago:

Fuck me, I need to get on this. Also, don't understand the TGD hate.


runoutgroove  said about 1 year ago:

Long Division is getting a vinyl reissue this month. presale at Norman

Still really enjoying the new album, especially the acoustic ep.


electricsound  said about 1 year ago:

slightly alarming to hear Low in a Myer ad

www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RXfoj5hYus

although it's a cover of them (by UK indie types Help Stamp out Loneliness)


runoutgroove  said about 10 months ago:

If you haven't caught up with the news, there is going to be a vinyl reissue of ''When the Curtain Hits the Cast'' No link to presales anywhere yet that I'm aware of.


djbollocks  said about 10 months ago:

I had no idea that their first album ''I Could Live in Hope'' was released on vinyl by Plain recordings. It's a beautiful album.


bestunbeatenbrother  said about 10 months ago:

very excited by that news cam!!


Incremental  said about 10 months ago:

awesome news, that'll pretty much complete the collection. 'Curtain' might be my favourite Low record, at the very least it's a tie with Trust. Definitely my favourite of the early stuff in any case.


mrmagoo  said about 4 months ago:

Invisible Way has leaked


Incremental  said about 4 months ago:

And it's pretty good! Although even more low-key than CMon. There are a couple of great songs, though (Plastic Cup, Amethyst, Catherine White, Just Make It Stop).


mrmagoo  said about 4 months ago:

really like it on first listen, definitely the low-key Low on this one


electricsound  said about 4 months ago:

'make it stop' is really good, i'm looking forward to this one


steveholt  said about 4 months ago:

New album produced by Jeff Tweedy.


GrantleyBuffalo  said about 4 months ago:

It's quite lovely, in its later-happier-Low kinda way. I still prefer the mopey stuff, but this has some beautiful moments.


GrantleyBuffalo  said about 4 months ago:

Also: the vinyl copy of 'Curtain' I have coming my way is from the much-maligned Plain Recordings. Is it going to be crap?
