Focusing on their craft, staying out of the fray, and holding fast their faith to find new ways to express the discord and delight of being alive, to turn the duality of existence into hymns we can share, Low present HEY WHAT. These ten pieces—each built around their own instantaneous, undeniable hook—are turbocharged by the vivid textures that surround them.The ineffable, familiar harmonies of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker break through the chaos like a life raft. Layers of distorted sound accrete with each new verse - building, breaking, colossal then restrained, a solemn vow only whispered. There will be time to unravel and attribute meaning to the music and art of these times, but the creative moment looks FORWARD, with teeth.

HEY WHAT is Low’s thirteenth full length release in twenty seven years, and their third with producer BJ Burton.

[l’aubscur]

L’invisible, celui qui maudit l’amour
(Celui dont on détachera la main droite)
Part en fumée, sans laisser de trace.

Nous avions le teint pâle, les yeux enfoncés, la langue sèche.
La lente mutation s’opérait. L’échappée serait belle.

La lune dorée brillait sur le rocher.
Débarrassés de nos corps d’hommes, nous hurlions notre vengeance.

Je laissais mes congénères à l’orée du bois.
L’instinct me poussait vers la rivière.

Quand je repense au goût de la chair de ces 3 nixes,
Une eau claire vient couler le long de mes babines

Blanche, obscure morsure
Lors de ce temps indicible, j’ai chassé, attaqué, dévoré
Jusqu’aux premières lueurs… à l’orée…

J’atteignais l’impressionnante forteresse.
Métamorphose inverse. 
De nouveau vulnérable, 
Nu.

Le brouillard entrait dans ma peau.
Je sortais de ma léthargie,
Les plaies béantes,
Les poils au-dedans.

Je retrouvais dans les Interstices 
Mes habits de la veille
Et ma canne ornée d’une tête de loup en argent

Je disparu, sans laisser de traces
Dans la fumée des matins
Invisible
Plus personne
