A.V. Club

Even during its most melancholic and introspective moments, Toward The Low Sun exudes a fervid, unstoppable hopefulness.

Drowned in Sound

It might lack the cinematic force afforded by extended track lengths and album-arching thematics, but Toward The Low Sun finds Dirty Three functioning at a consistently (and characteristically) high level

PopMatters

Dirty Three are still pushing their distinctive aesthetic forward on Toward the Low Sun

I must really love this plaintive, dusty Americana style because despite this having middling reviews I think it’s rather good.

In fact, if someone were to propose I was followed the rest of my waking days by a band entasked with providing a soundtrack to my every movement...well I’d choose the Dirty Three to do the job.

They’re pretty much the only ones I could imagine doing it without driving me nuts.
