Heh, our own lexaunculpt had heard and really liked the remix of "Over
The Ocean" and nearly shit his pants when I played him the original. It's
no where near idm or anything electronic, and is thus the perfect antidote
when you've been listening to too much of it. Low is minimal mormon drone
rock. It's a 3 peice act, with a singer/guitarist, a bass player, and a
female singer/drummer (although she only brings a cymbal, a snare and a
kick drum, and mainly uses a brush). It's very slow and moody, and very
well done. They have 3 albums and and two EP's on Vernon Yayd/Caroline,
and an album on kranky. I prefer thier more structured stuff on vernon
yard/caroline, thier kranky release is more in the vein of flying saucer
attack. 

My favorite release is thier first one, "I could Live in hope", produced
by Kramer. Runner up to that would be thier third full album, "The Curtain
Hits The Cast." I love all of thier material, and would strongly suggest
seeing them perform live. They also have a mail order live album that's
impossible to find but well worth the effort.
