    It's not too ambitious to suggest few other releases this year will match its grace, humanity and power.... A magnificent album.

    Things We Lost in the Fire's high points are, without question, the best they've done.

    Things We Lost in the Fire finds Low enamoured with harmonies, drawing from such disparate sources as Swans, the Beatles, Wire, and Simon & Garfunkel.

    Low continues to create beautiful music.

    Seriously mellow, seriously good record from Low. Probably the best slowcore album you'll come across. The first 4 tracks are absolutely brilliant. The middle section has peaks and troughs while the final section is consistently good stuff again. It's not for everyone - I'm sure some people will find it a bit dreary but when you listen to this up close it's got some stunning stuff on it.… Expand
