Sep 12, 2021While there was no way Low could recapture the utter surprise of the right turn they took on Double Negative, they come pretty close on Hey What. The vocabulary here is familiar to Double Negative, all distorted, overclipped, and damaged instruments accompanying clean vocal harmony. Some real moments of majesty on this one. I can only wonder how they'll pull this off live...

Oct 25, 2021Idiosyncratic, cold and enthralling. Feels like a continuation of "Double Negative's" austerity. Favourites:days like this,hey,all night,white horses.

Sep 10, 2021A great aural experience. Some of the sonic landscapes on this album are surreal, specially when songs fade into each other. Plus, i love the contrast between forefront angelical vocals and the harsh walls of noise. A great experimental masterpiece.

Sep 10, 2021Stunning! My favourite album of 2021 so far. Brutal, complicated music but the harmonies are beautiful and ethereal.

Nov 19, 2021Dark, twisted, brutal, heavy, glitchy, beautiful, harmonic, angelic and uplifting all at once. Low continue to not give an eff what others think and continue to make real music as a result. Another fine outing from one of my all time favourite bands.

Sep 23, 2021HEY WHAT is equally thrilling for the way they now sound impressively eloquent using it. If last time was learning and pushing towards a necessary change, HEY WHAT simply is living a different way, channeling the disarray of their noises and our world into something beautiful and moving, all the stronger for any fractures, cracks and fuzz.

Classic Rock MagazineSep 15, 2021As elegiac, brutally minimalist, silent and hymnal, disturbingly open and ultimately rewarding as before. [Oct 2021, p.77]

Sep 13, 2021In 2021, Low aren’t merely playing rock music gently and slowly: now they’re attempting to rewrite the language of the genre.
