Formed in 1993, Low are a trio from Duluth, Minnesota comprised of guitarist/vocalist Alan Sparhawk, percussionist/vocalist Mimi Parker and bassist Zak Sally. Initially garnering attention as leaders of the '€˜90s slowcore movement, Low went on to develop a sonic repertoire that incorporated pop, R&B and dissonant rock 'n'™ roll. With this kind of storied history, most people thought they had Low pegged. But then they turned in The Great Destroyer.

The band'€™s seventh full-length album, The Great Destroyer is fascinating in that it blends the band'€™s austere melodies (On the Edge Of, Silver Rider) with an aggressive guitar onslaught (Monkey, Everybody'€™s Song) and even melds Low'€™s varied styles together into a single song (When I Go Deaf). Co-produced by Low and David Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev), The Great Destroyer was a welcome surprise and, in the end, a rock 'n'€™ roll revelation.
