Low Hit the Road
Okay, not really, but it sure is funny to think so. Anyhow, Drums and Guns-- the previously reported 13-track follow-up to 2005's The Great Destroyer-- arrives March 20 via Sub Pop and features production from Dave Fridmann.
Come April Low kick off the first prong of a two-pronged tour assault, which has them drumming up love in the Eastern and Midwestern U.S. Phase two launches in June and covers the West Coast-- where, mysteriously, Low play every venue exactly twice.
Fellow Sub Popper and Swede sensation Loney, Dear opens a handful of dates on the first leg of the tour. His Sub Pop debut, Loney, Noir, hits the streets February 6.
Low's Alan Sparhawk, meanwhile, hasn't simply been grumbling about all the violence in the world these days-- he's been out there making a difference. Sparhawk visited Namuncha, Kenya recently, where Low are helping fund the building of a school. Read all about the project here. "I saw beautiful things and met beautiful, inspiring people," wrote Sparhawk on Low's website. "I still shake my head in amazement."
