761. Low - The great Destroyer

Roughly around the same time Sub Pop signed two established bands late in their careers, Sleater Kinney and Low. Oddly enough the two bands are polar opposite in tempos but were both produced by Dave Fridmann. The fuzz suits this trio very well. Low used to remind me of another Sub Pop band, Codeine - so slow that I could barely get into, but with the Great Destroyer things have sped up. Even cheery songs have a certain edge to them given the great production by Dave Fridmann.

I picked the song below because it is a great combo of the cheery/noise thing I mentioned, but also because I hate walking on Broadway because it is so packed.
