The Great Destroyer
Steven Chen
Aging takes on a mythic air on this latest incarnation of Low's slow
transition from sleepy minimalists to complex composers. Fronted by
harmonizing married couple Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker, indie rock's
maturing avatars of tense lethargy paint life as an epic fade, complete with
a mysteriously allegorical "Silver Rider" and folky musings on going deaf.
But "I'll still have my sight," Sparhawk & Parker declare together. It's
then that you realise how beautiful acquiescence can be.
