Low
Christmas
(Tugboat, 1999)
Seasonal mini from everybody’s favourite Mormon trio. Four covers, four originals.
A group of Mormon miserablists may not seem the ideal seasonal companions but Low’s 1991 EP is where spiritual incantation and secular rock intersect most comfortably. This is Low at their most divine, in every sense. If You Were Born Today bemoans our godless modern world as one in which Jesus would be killed by the age of eight, while Long Way Around The Sea stages an unexpected slow-core nativity. But no matter how potentially clumsy the sentiment, in Low’s hands it sounds beautiful. The Mimi-sung original Just Like Christmas is a warm-blooded pop song with sleigh bells and Spector-sparkle that floored Low fans on its release, and it’s brilliant. Their Little Drummer Boy is the fairy on the top; faithfully arranged but bundled up in reverb and distorted guitar, it’s an unlikely classic of the season.
