Carole,

Thanks so much for the beautiful comment! I’m glad to know that people continue to have such great experiences with Low’s music. They’ve truly made a difference in my life, and it seems so with many, many others.

Take care,

Hi Matthew,
Was surfing around and found your page on Low. Your phrase ‘time just simply stopped’ is a great way to describe discovering Low. For me, it was years ago, a local alternative radio station played several songs. I was driving around the countryside through hills of harvested corn, feeling lost and lonely. I flipped through the dial and there they were. The melodies swelled with the hills, the harmonies reflected the shadows and sky. It was one of those hard to describe, cherished moments that makes life worth living. I drove back to the city feeling alive again, and raced to the store for their CD. Thanks for posting about them.

Hey, thanks Matthew Larsen!

Nice to hear that I’m not the only one who is borderline / obsessed.

Did you happen to see them at the Horse in the earlier portion of the 00′s where they headlined? I can’t remember who opened… but I think it was around the time “Trust” came out. That night, I rememeber thinking how every Low show I attended was better than the last.

Thanks for reading and listening!

Take care…
-Matthew

Excellent cover of ‘Murderer’. I first started listening to Low when I saw them at Pearl St. open up for (canadian band) Versus. No-one was paying attention to them, and I could swear that Alan told Mimi and Zac to play QUIETER. I left that night with a copy of The Transmission EP. After picking up The Curtain Hits The Cast and hearing “The Plan”, I was absolutely hooked.

When Secret Name came out… and then Things We Lost In The Fire… I was just enthralled by the harmonies– In my ‘Smokejumpers’ days, Steve and I would finish setting up our gear, then find a place outside the venue before the show and sing “Like A Forest” as a warm up.

And admittedly, I can’t think of a band that really has influenced the way I write… sing… or approach music as much as Low. Though I don’t play out as much these days, when I do– I will still generally put on Things We Lost In The Fire in the car and sing along to it before the show.
