LOW SHARE HEARTFELT NEW SONG “SOME HEARTS (AT CHRISTMAS TIME)”
https://soundcloud.com/subpop/low-some-hearts-at-christmas-time/
UK & IRELAND TOUR STARTS TODAY
LISTEN TO LOW’S CHRISTMAS EP (1999) ON SPOTIFY
To coincide with the start of Low‘s UK & Ireland tour – on which they’re set to play tracks from their seminal 1999 EP Christmas – the Duluth trio present a brand new festive recording.
“Some Hearts (at Christmas Time)” finds Mimi Parker‘s lead vocal soaring above Alan Sparhawk‘s own artfully processed vocal and plaintive guitar motif.
The song comes with a short message from the band:
“To friends who have moved away and friends who have passed on this year. To one and all, especially those who are alone, we wish you a Merry Christmas and new hope for the new year. May we all find ways to lift each other.
With love,
Mimi, Alan and Steve.”
Low have an unparalleled pedigree when it comes to releasing seasonal aural delights. Their eight-song 1999 EP Christmas is often referred to as one of best Christmas records of the alternative era and is a gift that many fans return to year in, year out. Originally championed by John Peel, the EP collects five Christmas-themed originals by the band as well as covers of “Little Drummer Boy,” “Blue Christmas” and “Silent Night.”
Starting today, fans will have a rare chance to experience the joy, peace and reflection imbued in these songs – as well as new release “Some Hearts (at Christmas Time)” – when they’re performed live in some of the most handsome venues that the UK and Ireland has to offer.
The tour, which includes two nights at London‘s Union Chapel, is nigh-on sold out with just a handful of tickets remaining in a certain venues.
