Welcome to the official web site for the Duluth band Low
A Note from Low: July 2004
We are pleased to announce a few things that are going on with us recently. Some may be old news to some of you, but we're doing our best...
• Mimi and Alan have a new baby boy named Cyrus, born on june 5th. He was 24 inches long and 10 and a half pounds - this is a fairly large child, for
those of you who are not familiar with the range of possibilities. Everyone is
doing fine, despite the fact that Cyrus seems to be very upset about the
government from about 11pm to 4am, some nights.
• As we mentioned recently, the Low Box Set is out July 20th and is available
from a number of different soarces (see previous postings...)
• Beyond the documentary by Marc Gartman that is included in the Box Set,
there is another Low documentary that has been made recently about the band
recently on tour in Europe. The film is called "LOW IN EUROPE" and was
directed by
Sebastien Schrade. It will be showing at some festivals very soon and my be
available for purchase on DVD soon. There is a website up with all the info at
low-in-europe.com.
Have a great summer.
Alan.
News: June 2004
The Low Box Set, A Lifetime of Temporary Relief: 10 Years of B-Sides & Rarities will be out on July 20th! It is now available for order through Chairkickers (US fans), Secretly Canadian, Insound, and from Amazon.com. European residents can order it through Amazon UK. Please note that the box set will be available in many stores as well.
At long last, an exhaustive compilation of B-Sides, rarities, outtakes and
demos from the past 10 years of Low's career. Featuring more than 53 songs
assembled by the band, this box set contains 3 audio discs and 1 DVD. A
Lifetime of Temporary Relief includes Low's first bedroom recordings (1993),

Combined with a DVD that includes 11 Low videos, live footage and a series
of documentaries, along with notes and images in a 32-page booklet compiled
