"In our 20+ years of writing songs, I've learned that no matter how escapist, divergent, or even transcendent the creative process feels, the result is more beholden to what is going on at the moment.

It's hard to admit that one is so influenced by what is in front of us. Doesn't it come from something magical and far away? No, it comes from here.

It comes from now. I'm not going to tell you what this record is about because I have too much respect for that moment when you come to know it for yourself." - Alan Sparhawk, Low ,Ones and Sixes takes everything Low excels at and dips it in a heavy gold plating of industrial-leaning electronics.

This somehow catapults to new and extreme heights the innate beauty their music has always had.

It's a series of contrasts: stunning and menacing, gorgeous and frightening, giving and desperate, and ultimately, unbearably heavy and unbearably light.

From one to six and back again." - Dee Dee (Dum Dum Girls), NYC, June 2015 Co-produced by Low and engineer BJ Burton at Justin Vernon's April Base Studios in Eau Claire, WI, Ones and Sixes is the new (and, so far, the best) album from the Duluth-based trio of Alan Sparhawk, Mimi Parker and Steve Garrington.
