"Pah-rum-a-pum-pum!" Yes, that was Low that provided the soundtrack for a Christmas Gap commercial. With a slowed-down version of "The Little Drummer Boy," the stark-sounding Minnesota trio subtly marched into the aural lexicon of pop culture. Low's fifth full-length release, Things We Lost in the Fire, is an appropriate follow-up to their auspicious television debut. The Minnesota trio's stark sound has evolved--ever so slightly--since their 1994 debut, I Could Live in Hope. Tracking their career is like surveying the changes in a river's course--progress is perceptible, but just barely. Still, while modesty and restraint are key fundamentals for Low, Fire is full of grace and revelations. While earlier efforts lacked in contrast, "Dinosaur Act" and "Like a Forest" build and swell like thunderstorms coming over the horizon. Drummer Mimi Parker's vocals on "Embrace" are particularly evocative of the trio's evolution; achingly vulnerable, she lulls the listener with a promise of sanctuary before "crushing your skull with my warming embrace." What a glorious way to go. --Andria Lisle

    What a lovely album, from the beginning strains of cello to the very last hushed tones. Low has even begun to express a sense of wonder and, gasp, happiness. Rest assured that they will still keep you company on rainy days when it's all gone wrong and even the brighter moments are tinged with melancholy.
    People who have difficulty with subtlety (Mogwai, whom I like, seems to have quiet moments only to make the loud moments louder...) or well-considered composition will be confused. This is not (bad) music intent on proving itself. This is not a post-rock ensemble of artistes intent on embodying "cool."
    Those who want the dark, unrelenting tones of "Long Division" will likewise be disappointed, although I think a few listens may win them over. I would ask that anyone listening to a Low album give it a couple of listens over a length of time. I usually immediately dislike a new Low album ("This doesn't sound like Secret Name...") until it begins to sink in and I begin to grasp then crave the turns of phrase or lilt of voice or la la la.
    Low is not a schtick and with every album they evolve, mature, try new things, and expand their expressive vocabulary. The new album, "Truth," is coming out in late September and when I heard the MP3's on the Kranky website, little one minute samples, I thought, "This is terrible, this isn't 'Things We Lost in the Fire' or 'Secret Name' or 'The Curtain Hits the Cast'" But now I find myself humming the samples, listening to them in anticipation.

    I don't know how Low manages to keep topping themselves, but they do. When "The Curtain Hits the Cast" came out, I thought it was the all-time best slow-core album I'd ever heard until they released "Secret Name", and then I thought for sure they'd hit their peak. With the exception of the monotonous, 7-min. song, "don't understand" on that one, it was near-perfect, impossible to beat. But, after my umpteenth listen to "Things We Lost in the Fire", I find that, once again, Low has exceeded my expectations. With a couple exceptions (the pulsing "dinosaur act" and the all-too-short, epic "like a forest") this cd is even more reserved and subtly hypnotic then their previous efforts, but, like most of their work, this subtlety in no way lacks power or depth. Low is such a great band, because they attack you on a peripheral level and force you to be an active listener, to concentrate on every significant change in the music from song to song--and when a new instrument starts up, or there's an unexpected chord change, it really grabs you. Mimi's songs are simply beautiful on this cd -- particularly "laser beam" and "embrace" -- her vocals are like a tremulous cry in a dark room. But the highlight of the cd is the joint singing b/w she and Alan Sparhawk on "closer" -- a beautiful, amazing song. Low is not for everyone, but if you're a slow-core fan, you should own this cd. Low will never top this one (I keep saying that so they'll continue to prove me wrong.)

    I may as well put my cards on the table. Usually, I don't care for the
    flash and slash sound of Techno-Alternative: it's just too tortured
    for me. With "Things We Lost In The Fire", I must make an
    exception. Name just one other Pyro-Sludge outfit who can whittle the
    Wilbur down to the bone without the help of studio trickery? See what
    I mean! If only words could describe the honesty, craftsmanship,
    lyrical depth and soul searching power of "Things We Lost In The
    Fire". My advise: If you want some thinking music with words that
    make you think (and forget that you ever heard of the Law of
    Diminishing Marginal Returns) get "Things We Lost In The
    Fire". Believe you me, there's nothing around this smart except
    maybe Driver's Ed.
    "Things We Lost In The Fire" is
    awesome. Like, the band has a lot of good albums, but this is
    awesome. It's got a couple of good songs, but the ones that I like
    best are #2, #8, and #11. Tracks #9 and #12 are so great that they
    make you want to get up and do something. Like, when I listen to these
    songs, I'm amazed how different they sound in the same sort of way. I
    checked "Keep my name analogous" because I didn't want my
    friends to know that I was listening to illicit lyrics. Can you still
    vote? If you vote, I have just 3 words: "Thanks so
    much. Really."

    5.0 out of 5 stars Just discovered Low. Wow, were have I been? Great stuff
    Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2011

    I just stumbled upon Low in the last few months. I heard a couple of cuts on some compilation albums and really dig what I call "down folk." I next bought this album "Things We Lost in The Fire" while listening to track samples on various low albums. This is a great album all the way through--very cohesive and catchy on my first listen. I proceeded to purchase another ten Low CDs on Amazon and this is still my favorite album of the bunch. To me, Low has their own unique sound but has echoes of a few of my other favorite bands like Radiohead, Red House Painters. a bit of Wilco and a touch of Spacemen 3/Spiritualized. Their DVD "Low in Europe" is great, too.

    A near-perfect album, with songs building slowly, slowly into a (dare I say it?) subdued frenzy. We have given up hoping for major drama since a few albums back, and building on that foundation - or perhaps it should be called 'axiom' - we are in for a major treat.

    My brother turned me on to this “slow-core” group and I enjoyed it enough to purchase another of their albums.
