Perhaps it is best to describe Low's approach as essentialism- allowing each musical gesture to make maximum impact. When Zak Sally touches his bass guitar, Alan Sparhawk plays a guitar chord, or Mimi Parker strikes a cymbal, it is with an intent and aim to connect with the listener. This is their fifth studio album and their first full length release for kranky. In November, 1998, Low came to Chicago to record with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio Studios. Having defined and refined a sound all their own, the trio continue to improve their craft and expand their range. From the release of their Songs For A Dead Pilot EP to the fall of 1998, Low had written a fistful of songs. The new album develops each of the directions Low explored on the Songs EP; working between blurry drones and chamber pop. "Will The Night," the first track on the EP, even gets reworked on Secret Name. During recording, Low worked with a string section, timpani, and piano. Low remains tied to the simple grace of the voices Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker. Instrumentally they have stretched out, but each song continues to be based on deceptively simple patters of voice, bass, guitar, and skeletal percussion. Low have crafted a diverse and absorbing album that will surprise longtime listeners and new fans alike. Track Listing: 1. I Remember 2. Starfire 3. 2-Step (In 28.8 Mhz RealAudio Stero Sound!) 4.
