Y allí afuera no hay nadie, todo lo diría si lo preguntáramos en voz alta; y si se nos escuchase preguntarlo; o si se consintiera en recoger esta absurda pregunta. Nadie, salvo el reflejo difuso de todos los rostros en los vidrios intactos empavonados de nadie. / Fragmento de: La pieza Oscura , Por: Enrique Lihn
Suki Ewers has spent her career perfecting a glorious, countrified strand of dream-pop as part of bands Mazzy Star, Opal and Anemone, and this new Kramer-produced solo outing is comparable with the slowcore loveliness of Low, the stargazing Nashville sounds of Cortney Tidwell, and most obviously, the opiated balladry of former bandmate Hope Sandoval, particularly on the brilliant opener 'Time After Time'. The songwriting and production are in perfect harmony, sounding like a pedal steel-toting Velvet Underground on 'All Day Long', whilst spouting blasts of echoing guitar distortion and searing synthesizer on 'This Must Be Heaven'. Sidestepping the dream-pop pitfalls, Ewers never hides her songs - or for that matter her vocals - behind the array of studio techniques and effects that help shape this album, and Kind Of Hazy resounds far more clearly than its title might have you believe.
Low is an American indie rock group from Duluth, Minnesota. The group was formed in 1993, by Alan Sparhawk (guitar and vocals), Mimi Parker (drums and vocals) and original bassist John Nichols (bass guitar). Zak Sally replaced Nichols after Low's first album and tour. In 2005, Sally quit the band; Matt Livingston replaced him shortly thereafter. Livingston has since left the band and has been replaced by Steve Garrington, creating the current lineup of Sparhawk, Parker and Garrington.
Their music is commonly described as "slowcore," a subgenre characterised by slow tempos and minimalist arrangements. They are one of the earlier bands to adopt and popularize the style, making them considerable contributors to the slowcore movement. (It is worth noting that the band dislikes this tag. In an interview, Alan Sparhawk says of descriptions of their music: "What's the cheesiest? Slow-core. I hate that word. The most appropriate is anything that uses the word minimal in it, but I don't think anybody's made one up for that." In another interview, Sparhawk claimed that a friend of his coined the term: "this friend of ours in a record store was always joking around...and he said, 'I got it! You should call it "slowcore"!'...It was a total joke, and I think I mentioned it at one of our interviews." ) Parker and Sparhawk's striking vocal harmonies represent perhaps the group's most distinctive element; critic Denise Sullivan writes that their shared vocals are "as chilling as anything Gram and Emmylou ever conspired on -- though that's not to say it's country-tinged, just straight from the heart."
Una de mis bandas preferidas en cuanto a música Dream Pop, Shoegaze se refiere, ese sonido que te llena de melodias saturadas atraves de una atmósfera totalmente inteligente, su composición distorcionada, y la sensible resonancia mantenida de bella psicodelia, el trueno azul.
Un canto del espíritu naufrago en los infinitos segmentos variables junto a la red. Primero que nada, agradezco enormemente sus ganas de sumergirse en las profundidades del "cuadro letárgico", sus comentario son para proceder eternos, reconstruyendo el eslabón, significa comunicación, no era en afán de molestarlos. El post anterior queda guardado entre nos, los que presenciamos el florecer, ahora presente dentro de cada palabra, y totalmente identificado para Galaxie 500.
Un reencuentro, trasmisión rodea calidad y sana el vació, todo sigue atravesando el cosmos y reír se transforma en el medio, una locación para despegar otra vez, jejeje!!. Planeador de alas recogidas, un único cordón, extremidades y movimiento presente en cada tiempo, aprendo a nadar, poco a poco, niño soñador, no te obliga un compromiso con los eslabones, en la igual señal confundirse se torna despreciable y la real razón entre amigos, confronta la verdad.
Otra energía que vi reflejada es una forma pura de unir a los lejanos soñadores, ya antes mencionados, por eso estoy agradecido y todo continua...

A singing of the spirit I sink in the infinite changeable segments close to the network. First that nothing, I am grateful enormously for his desire of submerging in the depths of the " cuadro letárgico ", his they are a commentary to proceed eternal, reconstructing the link, it means communication, it was not in zeal to bother them. The previous post remains guarded among us, which we attend to bloom, now present inside every word, and totally identified for Galaxie 500. A reunion, transmission surrounds quality and recovers it emptied, everything continues crossing the cosmos and to laugh transforms in the way, a lease to take off again, jejeje!!. Glider of quiet wings, the only cord, extremities and present movement in every time, I learn to swim, little by little, dreamy child, it does not force a commitment with the links, in the equal sign despicable restitution and the real reason to get confused among friends, confronts the truth. Another energy that I saw reflected is a pure way of joining the distant dreamers, already before mentioned, because of it I am grateful and everything continues...

Low se forma en Duluth, USA, en el año 1993. Su música talves forma parte del llamado movimiento "slowcore" , para entender sus rítmicas lentas, de "rock" y "folk" esta claro que tienen que descargarlo. Frágil, austero, e hipnótico, agitan el espacio creando ausencia de sonido. Es experimentación con efectos análogos en una época del predominio grunge, donde la banda se resguarda de todos los murmullos del entorno y se mantienen subterraneos .
Los miembros de Low son ; Alan Sparhawk (guitarra y voz), Mimi Parker (bateria y voz) y John Nichols (bajo) . Aquí les dejo una caja triple con rarezas grabadas por la banda a lo largo del tiempo, desde su creación, hasta el 2004, año en que + tarde es publicado el material para ser comercializado.
