Low, a Duluth-based band with two Mormon members, pioneered slowcore by playing extremely slow, quiet music that sustained sadness and unease without cathartic release.
Deathcrash will release their third album, Somersaults, on February 27. The follow-up to 2023's is the London slowcore band's latest for Untitled (Recs), and they'll celebrate its release with a show in the label's New York hometown, at Night Club 101, on February 26. (Find the rest of the band's tour dates on their website.) Listen to the Somersaults title track below, and scroll down to find the album art and tracklist, which includes the recent single " Triumph."
"There are lots of questions in the lyrics, a lot dealing with the idea of: You wanted this, didn't you? What do you do now that you have it? Is it what you expected? There is also a moment of humility towards the end, with the acknowledgement that even if we don't necessarily want to 'work' there is a power in being a part of something larger than yourself."
