LOW SHARE KING BRITT’S FHLOSTON PARADIGM REMIX OF “FLY”

On the heels of last year’s critically acclaimed Double Negative, LOW have shared a remix of a standout album track. Famed Philadelphia producer/DJ King Britt has reworked “Fly”, and had this to say about their collaboration:“As a longtime Low fan, a huge amount of respect went into the mix. I loved their new sonic direction, which spoke to my Fhloston Paradigm project. My mix was a response and continuation in a way of a magical space they already created. Mimi Parker’s vocals were some of her best. A true honour.”

The band recently played an electrifying set at this year’s Glastonbury Festival, which was streamed live on BBC Music. Their performance of “Fly” aired on BBC 2 and is now available on YouTube. Low will perform at this weekend’s Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago before returning to Europe for more dates, including an appearance at End Of The Road Festival.

Praise for Double Negative

“…the most important, devastating album of the year.” [5/5] – The Guardian “Low have never made a record quite so jarring and jagged, but Double Negative pushes beyond their own catalogue. Low have made what might be their most relevant album, one that holds a mirror up to the world.” [“Album of the Month,” 9/10] – Uncut “…an ambitious, modern wonder of an album, an exploration of the song as an imperfect conduit of feeling..” [Best New Music, 8.7/10] – Pitchfork“With their latest, Double Negative, they’ve gone full-on impressionistic, smearing and distorting sounds to create beautiful songs from distant moments playing on a radio that’s fallen down a wormhole.” – New York Times“It takes beautiful things and destroys them, and it takes ugly things and renders them celestial.” [“Album of the Week”] – Stereogum“For a band so often defined by apparent strictures on its sound, Low has proven incredibly versatile. Throughout a catalog that spans 12 studio albums, another dozen or so EPs, a Christmas record that’s justly become a classic, and countless one-offs, it’s upended its formulas constantly while still sounding unmistakably like itself. On the new Double Negative, those patterns hold true amid Low’s most radical reinvention yet.” – [“First Listen”] – NPR “Double Negative sees Low continue their tradition of producing highly emotional music and delivers their most powerful, direct, and moving work yet.” [9/10] – PopMatters“A dystopian masterpiece.” [9/10] – CLASH“The album marks an extraordinary point in the trio’s career – an album rich in darkness and in texture, finding Low in experimental sublimity, further reminding us that their range has only gotten exceptionally larger and better over time.” [9/10] – The Line of Best Fit“Not since Bon Iver’s reinvention or even Radiohead’s Kid A have a relatively mainstream band made such an assured volte-face, willfully pushing their audience away while they revisit, remake and remodel the tension that made them so very precious in the first place. Fierce and beautiful.” [“Album of the Month,” 5/5] – Record Collector“With Double Negative, Low give you the tempest – the here, the now, the fear, the wonder – and they do it uncompromisingly.” [5/5] – The Skinny“It is an astonishing album, cohesive but wide-ranging, sometimes presenting Low as they were, more often seeing the trio forge on until guitars dissolve, words dissolve, flesh dissolves and everything becomes pure light.” [9/10] – Drowned in Sound“This is the sound of Low finding extremity in a new, thrilling way.” [4/5] – Q Magazine “Low are back with a vital-sounding, politically-urgent record that’s perhaps the best of their career.” – The Quietus“It’s an extraordinary and entirely successful reinvention.” – Sunday Times “It sounds as though the group are literally trying to convey the sky falling” [Cover feature] – The Wire “As if galvanised by a world that’s once again collapsing, they’ve pushed their sound even closer to the edge of disintegration.” – Loud & Quiet“Double Negative is an album of our current moment, both sonically and emotionally, yes, but also one that will transcend it.” – Dusted
