Last week we went to see Low live at Spitz, great chance to see them in a small venue and playing the songs of their new eminent record, Drums And Guns. As I expected, most of the show was focused in the new album, they played all the songs. Their interpretation was quite different from the record, produced by Dave Friedman in a way where all the voices come through one speaker and the instruments mainly from the other one, but sometimes travelling in a curl from one side to the other. They also give a lot of prominence to electronics and forget about the electric storms of The Great Destroyer, their previous work also produced by Friedman.
This gig was classic Low performance, guitar, bass and basic drums, no additional elements. Darkness and silence, but also light and prettiness. And they rescued some classics such as Sunflowers, Lazerbeam, In Metal, Soon, In the drugs or their classic ending with Will The Night.
Now we have to wait for the Gig in the Shepherds Bush empire next month to see if they’re going to try to represent the record as it is recorded or they’re going to do the same kind of gig.
