Product Description
Recorded in the spring of 2004, during the final months of Parker Noon and Lily Wolfe 's decade-long romance, "The Low Lows" is a set-piece of heartbreak songs, couched in a series of five and six-minute lo-fi mini-symphonies. Heavily reverbed, tube-and-tape based (sounding something like a worn-out 7-inch of Phil Spector producing My Morning Jacket), it's a labyrinthine album--easier to get into than out of. Farfisa, strings, Rhodes, steel guitar, horns, and feedback struggle to balance each other as Parker stutters and mumbles his signature brand of unhappy harmony. Sad southern tints give way unexpectedly to bright walls of melody. The songs are, on average, twice as long as on their previous albums, and dynamics are of the essence this time out, as each song swells from minimalist beginnings toward sweeping choruses.
