You're welcome, Bytor Peltor.
I sort of understand your disappointment, although from my perspective, i still would consider it good news if they were playing near my town. Having a slight chance of catching at least one of their shows would be totally blissful to me. Hopefully one day they'll finally make it here somehow. Anyway, i really like "Try to Sleep" very much. The warmness of the song brings a smile to my face, and the sound, seemingly more organic than what they did on "Drums And Guns", makes me think "C'Mon" is gonna be a record with plenty of the elements i enjoy the most about Low. Excellent teaser. I'm really looking forward to this album. However, i decided not to pre-order yet, just to stay away from the temptation of hearing the stream. This is something i wanna listen to on a decent stereo system rather than on my crappy computer's speakers.

we're almost done. By Low · Monday, October 11, 2010 we're almost done. after the RGC midwest tour, i flew out to L.A. for a couple days to work on more guitars and some vocals (sounds so glamorous when i have to type it out...). nels cline came in and played some guitar, too. i won't even begin to try to explain how awesome he is. now we are going thru rough mixes and the smallest decisions... Uncut has already posted a (positive) review of "C'Mon". "Nothing But Heart" is the only song containing Nels Cline's participation, according to it: http://www.uncut.co.uk/blog/index.ph...b=1#more1 642

Someone on another message board who'd heard the record said it sounded like a cross between "trust" and "the great destroyer", which sounds like it should be pretty good. Looking forward to it.

Considering "C'mon" was recorded for the most part at the same studio than "Trust", i think it would be understandable if there are some similar vibes, even if both records do not share the same producer. I think Tchad Blake was credited as producer on "Trust", but i'm not sure at the moment. Sacred Heart Studios is an old church, so i would suppose that, since Low were already familiar with the acoustics, it's possible that they went there to record the new album with some specific intentions regarding the sound they were looking for. "Trust" is an astounding album, and if "C'Mon" somehow ends up being similar in terms of sound and atmosphere, i think i would be very satisfied. I'd love it even more if there is some kind of progression, though. An of course, something new would be even nicer.
I don't really know what to make of that comparison with "The Great Destroyer" as the implication of a resemblance between the two albums offers many possibilities, but taken into consideration the bits and pieces of comments that i've read so far about the new album, i expect at least one song ("Majesty/Magic") to be in the same vein as "When I Go Deaf", for instance. Maybe it'd be wise to assume the Nels Cline track will be equally similar, too. I fail to see "Try To Sleep" as an hybrid of elements of "Trust" and "The Great Destroyer", but maybe the other songs differ a lot from this one. I've heard live versions of some new songs already, but sometimes they end up sounding different on the final recorded product. The Uncut review i posted a link to, has a mention of "C'Mon" being heavily influenced by Neil Young, and it's the first thing that also mentions "C'Mon" as being more similar to "Things We Lost In The Fire" rather than to any other Low records, contrary to the percepction of your acquaintance, dionysusundone. All of this just makes me speculate. Maybe i should give up, and just listen to the streaming at Sub Pop's website. Damn it.

Yeah those are all valid points. I CAN kind of see "Try To Sleep" as being a bit of a cross between "Trust" and "TGD" in that it has a similar vibe to the Trust stuff but the production is a bit more lush and aggressive like The Great Destroyer, so maybe that's what they were referring to?
And regarding the part about being satisfied with the new one if it's anything like Trust in sound and atmosphere, I completely agree. I think Trust is actually my favorite of theirs so anything that harkens back to it is, to me, a good thing. Guess we won't know til we hear it...

Personal connections aside, I think I am pretty much burnt out on this band, and have been for some time. Sparhawk's participation in Retribution Gospel Choir is far more satisfying to me these days.

A funny interview with Alan Sparhawk. I love the cynical nature of his sense of humor.
