Double Negative is an album that will endure for a long time. It’s a thrilling development that proves how Low continue to release music of extremely high standards, restlessly creative and never content to stand still.
Double Negative sees Low continue their tradition of producing highly emotional music and delivers their most powerful, direct, and moving work yet.
Double Negative by Low is simultaneously like nothing they’ve ever done before, and exactly like everything they’ve ever done before.
Considering the trying times we live in, it’s inspiring that Low have managed to cope by learning how to fully – and artfully – embrace their inner austerity and hopelessness.
Double Negative is their biggest step forward to date, an album that scrambles their sound completely; it sounds nothing like Low and everything like Low. More than that, it captures what it means to be alive in 2018, when developments in technology create rather than alleviate suffering, when each day seems to present a fresh new hell, when it takes immense will power to maintain equilibrium and hope.
While a somewhat disorientating experience, this is Low's most challenging and interesting record for sometime.
Double Negative is a magnificent and courageous record, if you’re ready for it.
Double Negative is a brave and thoughtful collection of songs that lets Low's beating heart scream for its life against a world without compassion, and if it isn't much fun, in 2018 it's truly necessary.
With Double Negative, Low maintain all fronts of their fanbase. All the elements of the bands chilling atmospheres are here.
Yes, Double Negative asks much of listeners, but what you get in return is positive to say the least.
From the moment it begins, Double Negative sounds like being inside a violent storm, holding up a mirror to the turbulence of the world right now.
