Low Gets Bloody on The Violet Path
Low is returning with album number 8 with a likely title of The Violet Path. The album will be their second since signing with Sub Pop and like last year's The Great Destroyer, the new album is produced and engineered by Dave Fridmann.
The new album which is penciled in for a March or April release is focused on death and murder says Sparhawk.
"Near as I can tell, it's all about killing," Sparhawk told Pitchfork. "I was kind of realizing the other day that a lot of the songs deal with either killing someone or dying. I don't know, it's kind of funny...maybe that's the big question. [We're] kind of living in a time when it's good to talk about killing and being killed."
When isn't it a good time to talk about death and killing?
The trio has a handful of shows lined up this winter, before beginning an earnest supporting tour in the Spring.
