Apr 14, 2011Low's always been nothing but heart, but it's been a while since that heart has been as clear and strong as this.
-
Apr 12, 2011As the result of their impassioned musicianship and disciplined songwriting, this band has always had go-to credibility; with C'mon, they've raised the bar higher still.
-
Apr 12, 2011By stripping things back a little, Low have turned in their most confident, consistent record to date (admittedly this might have something to do with the fact that, running to only ten tracks, C'mon is also their shortest), and even, in places, sound like they're actually enjoying themselves.
-
Apr 11, 2011A good deal of the success of C'mon is down to its solid foundations – its quality song-writing and deft sequencing.
-
Apr 8, 2011C'mon is such a delight, simultaneously luscious in their orchestration and muted in their delivery. Beautiful.
-
Apr 11, 2011Musically, this is not a Low album that will catch anyone by surprise.
-
Under The RadarMay 27, 2011Nothing But Heart finds Parker and Sparhawk meditatively harmonizing "I'm nothing but heart," over a pulsating rhythm section that glacially builds to a plangent crescendo, it's the pivotal moment on this superb record, but could also serve as the mantra for this terrific band's career. [May 2011, p.85]
-
May 20, 2011The less experimental C'mon is confident and warm, suggesting that the band let the reverberant setting dictate the tone.
-
Q MagazineMay 17, 2011If you can cope with the intensity, tracks such as Done and the almost unbearably sombre $20 draw a mesmerising beauty from their anguish. [May 2011, p.119]
-
The WireMay 3, 2011This intensity and force, despite the stillness, brings a new dimension to Low's sound and makes C'Mon an interesting addition to an already impressive body of work. [Apr 2011, p.60]
-
Apr 20, 2011On Low's ninth full-length album, the slowcore trio from Duluth creates its most inviting work to date.
-
Apr 12, 2011C'mon, while well short of sunny, is an album devoted to the search for answers amidst the darkness, and it's a powerful, deeply moving work from a truly singular band.
-
Apr 12, 2011Whatever C'mon lacks in newness it more than compensates for in intimacy and richness.
-
UncutApr 12, 2011"Try To Sleep" and the Kool Keith quoting "Witches" are songs that join classics in their cannon. [May 2011, p.91]
-
Apr 12, 2011It wouldn't be a Low record without plenty of unease, but the soothing, uplifting music works at cross purposes to the lyrics.
-
Apr 11, 2011Blankly drawn out, they are as unlike expressive human speech as anything in rock.
-
Apr 7, 2011Spanning the chilling rock cacophony of Majesty/Magic and warm country stylings woven within Witches and Done, C'mon is an invitation too intriguing not to take up.
-
May 20, 2011The band is best when playing to a slow build and climax, which C'mon does beautifully, both as a whole and on individual songs.
-
Apr 18, 2011C'mon doesn't break much new ground for Low in the way that their last two records did, and that's clearly not the goal here.
-
Apr 12, 2011C'mon is an uneven record, but for every song that doesn't hit the mark, there's another that exhibits the band's mastery of patient eruptions.
-
Apr 11, 2011Here Low are, still going strong, still this consistent, still delivering vital albums like C'mon.
-
Apr 12, 2011C'mon feels more like a collection drawn from throughout the last decade than a completely cohesive album.
-
Alternative PressApr 12, 2011C'mon, which was the band recorded in an old church in their hometown of Duluth, Minnesota, has moments of slowcore brilliance. [May 2011, p.93]
-
Apr 11, 2011C'Mon is a pause for breath, a likeable but slight addition to an impressive back catalogue.
-
Apr 12, 2011Sparhawk and Parker have written songs more memorable than the 10 collected on "C'mon." Maybe Beckley should've cracked the studio-pro whip.
-
MojoMay 17, 2011C'mon suggests their state of grace deserves a wider congregation. [May 2011, p.108]
-
Apr 12, 2011It seems like they just ran out of interest, and gave up.
