This is the wonderful sound of a rock band that sounds like a machine you’re afraid to get close to for fear your shirt might catch in the gears and your arms will get ripped off.

I mean, you name the shoegaze accoutrement, they’ve got it.

Mathias Anderson displays considerable talent in creating “experimental” music that’s surprisingly easy to listen to.

Anti-Pop Consortium’s detours are not the same old breaks trotted out which are sure to rock a crowd.

Arco’s Chris Healey has just about the softest, whispery-est voice in pop music.

The result is something pure and natural, as wholesome as can be, but also full of tension and anxiety.

Another impressive jazz album from the North Carolina band.

An uneventful mix made up of mostly boring and pointless tracks.

The best way to enjoy this disk is not really so much as a Low record, but as a relatively well-done compilation of electronic and ambient music.

Anyone who considers themselves a fan of World Serpent, Projekt, Cold Meat, or other similar labels would do themselves well to find a copy.

Sounds like a Fugazi clone with a horn player and a strange sort of intensity that got lost in the translation.

You’re left with an EP that sounds like nothing more than a bar band covering old ’80s classics.

This album represents what Hip Hop can be when a focused artist is given the right amount of time and space.

So for all you cats whose Portishead tapes popped as a result of repeated listens, slide this in and you won’t miss a beat.

While it may be hip to be unknown and trendy to record for an independent label, you still have to make good music.

This music is spirit glorified.

Pure contemplative magic.

The whole disk is nice and airy, never a dissonant note for too long.

There’s so much more substance here than anything produced by the average person alone in a basement doing electronically reconstructed jazz.
