Description:
Drums And Guns is the eighth full-length from Minnesota`s Low, and their second for Sub Pop. While these songs feature new elements (looped vocals, drum machines, etc.), and are thoroughly, radiantly contemporary, they remain undeniably Low`s. Jack Pereira, from harmoniummusic.com wrote, "... lyrically the album has countless highlights, the musical quality is turned up quite a few notches here in comparison to other Low albums. The quiet aesthetic remains, but songs like `Sandinista` and `Always Fade` are much busier, and the endless carousel of sounds create a hectic background for the fraught lyrics. Despite this seeming chaos, the muted nature of the music gives it a serene beauty, much like the lyrics: scathing yet artistic. (Sub Pop)
