song of the week 17: low - you see everything

In contrast to the lush instrumentation, unexpected harmonies and soaring melodies of the High Llamas (see last post), Low are generally acknowledged as one of the major purveyors of the "slowcore" genre. As such theirs is a music where, by and large, like the bar in Heaven, nothing ever happens.

Here's a track--actually much less sparse than most of their output--from their new album. Can't get enough of this at the moment...
