There will be cake



The Minnesota band LOW has been making stomach churning anthems for years, but their spare and stark video for last year's BREAKER marks the first time the complex intensity of their music has been matched visually. That is to say the surreal, palpable intensity which is conveyed without the obvious signifyers of doom and gloom, darkness, or slow-motion.

It's hard to watch, but this may be one of the strongest pieces of experimental music videos I've seen. LOW play tonight in NEW YORK CITY, and tomorrow in BROOKLYN.
