Low **** (Recommended)

The Minnesota group Low is two-thirds Mormon, observes the Manchester Guardian in a review of their music. Noting that group members avoid coffee and drugs, the article also observes, "while singer Alan Sparhawk and drummer Mimi Parker are rumoured to have enjoyed carnal relations, it's within marriage."

Musically, the group has "the rare modern achievement" of having its own sound. The quite music evokes the hushed reverence of a church, and the reviewer calls their melancholy music, "breathtaking."

The group now has five "brilliant" albums behind them, so the reviewer feels they are due for more commercial success.
