Listen to a new Low song, ‘No Comprende’
June 23, 2015
A new Low album is on the way, and today we get our first taste of the band's latest work in the form of the single "No Comprende." The new track crackles, with distortion singing the edges off of Alan Sparhawk's marching guitar, and then opens up for an ominous, cavernous finale that highlights Mimi Parker's mournful voice.
The band's new record, Ones and Sixes, was recorded at Justin Vernon's April Base studio near Eau Claire, Wisconsin with engineer BJ Burton. "We tracked under the soft glow of laser discs playing lost classics like Point Break and Speed," Sparhawk says. "Glenn Kotche from Wilco was there one day working on another record, so we had him in to play hand-percussion on a couple songs. Working 2 or 3 days at a time, leaving it with BJ, then back again for more, we don't have the time or money to second-guess or pick from a pool of possibilities. This is the whole thought—the untamed truth. This is now. This is everything."
