Fresh from support slots with Anna Calvi and after their debut ‘The EP of Hope and Despair’ led to them being named Guardian ‘new band of the day’, won over Tom Robinson on BBC 6Music and earned a clutch of 5/5 reviews, Sheffield’s Greenwood brothers Low Duo return with their second EP in only five months.

Since forming in August 2010 the prolific pair have been winning hearts nationwide with their unique brand of darkly emotive minimalist guitar pop – all of which is written and performed with just one guitar and one voice.

“It’s pretty intense. Low Duo give fresh lustre to that overworked notion of the darkly powerful.”
Paul Lester, The Guardian ‘new band of the day’
"A distinctive emotional atmosphere I haven't heard since the first dEUS album - a high, high compliment."
Tom Robinson, BBC 6Music
5/5 "The most beautiful body of music to come out of Sheffield this generation. No exaggeration. Truly magnificent songwriters."
Will Hitchmough, Counterfeit Magazine
“Ace minimalist eerie dark duo that have a repertoire of absolute tear jerkers that will rip the heart clean out of your rib cage” 
Eighth Word Murder Club
"8/10 - Beautiful and delicate, there's magic in the space between the notes and in Leigh's haunting and cracked yet powerful voice. Truly magnificent."
Whisperin' and Hollerin'

Staying true to Low Duo’s original vision, ‘The EP of Fear and Failure’ is another stripped back affair that refuses to incorporate anything more than guitar and voice. The quality of the songwriting is at the forefront, as is the deep connection between Adam’s haunting guitar lines and Leigh’s versatile voice and subtle poetic lyrics.

The brothers have learned from their debut though and this second installment is darker, denser and more purposeful. 

The five song EP is available as a lovingly made limited edition CD package or as a digital download and the brothers are inviting people to spend what they can afford. The opening track, No Happier, is available as a FREE download.

Cold Hearted Woman by The Faux Faux

Cold Hearted Woman

She’s under my skin
She’s undone my skin 

Kisses felt so sweet
Now they feel so cold
My fear is you my dear
and everything you hold
your moan slips
my mind spilts
and i’m waiting on you 
your moan slips
my mind spilts -
and i’m wanting it too

Bring her, bring her 
Bring her to me

Tell me how it feels
To be up this close
Slow down my body-
Theres no time

Ya touch slips
my my mind spilts 
Your touch slips
my my mind spilts
And i’m breaking in two 

Bring her, bring her 
Bring her to me

Watching, waiting, calling out
She brings her life in
Makes that’ sound
She’s taking you down down down down 
She’s taking you down down down down


She got me 
Ya Life stops
Her tongue slips
My lips split
and im ripped 
ya blood spilts
is this it?

She broke him 
Broke him! 

Bring her, bring her 
Bring her to me

Undone - Circe
