LOW SHARE NEW VIDEO FOR ‘PLASTIC CUP’

THE INVISIBLE WAY OUT NOW ON SUB POP; UK & IRELAND TOUR DATES

Low have released a new video for their song ‘Plastic Cup’ from their critically acclaimed 10th album, The Invisible Way. The clip was directed by friend Ryley Fogg. NPR premiered the music video today, which you can watch here.

NPR Music says of the video, “Creepy, hooded figures intercut with black-and-white images of the band performing in period costumes….It takes a while to realize that the alien creatures seen in the video are actually massive giants. And the band is playing inside a glitter-filled snow globe. Frontman Alan Sparhawk sneers sarcastically and rolls his eyes through every line, before the band breaks into a kaleidoscopic dance, shot overhead, like something out of a Busby Berkley film.”

And Low’s Alan Sparhawk had this to say about the ‘Plastic Cup’ video & why they chose to work with Ryley Fogg: “I have known director Ryley Fogg since we were in a band together in college called “3D Psycho Paisley”. Ryley has gone on into film, most recently being part of “Sound City” film with Dave Grohl. The video imagery draws heavily on the look of the first “talkies”, taking the band thru a psychedelic, alien encounter from outside our little sparkly world.”
In related Low news, the band recently visited Later with Jools Holland, for two stunning performances of The Invisible Way cuts ‘Waiting’ and ‘Just Make It Stop’

There’s also a new documentary film about Low that will be screening nationally this entire summer! In short: Low Movie (How To Quit Smoking) follows the entire career of the iconic band Low and their relationship with director Philip Harder. More details available here.
