Low, EMA
Recommended
Nowhere is Low's zest for change starker than on Double Negative. Produced with BJ Burton (not the Danger Mouse guy), the songs often come coated with gritty distortion and electronic glitchery more common with the noise and IDM genres than the sensitive, methodical songcraft on which Low has built their rep. Paradoxically, Low's most "difficult" record has earned them a cover story with English magazine the Wire, eighth place in the Village Voice's Pazz & Jop poll, and an 86 Metacritic rating.
