On Things We Lost in the Fire, Low stretch slowcore until it glows, binding hushed harmonies, sudden noise and fragile lullabies into one prolonged reckoning with love, faith and mortality. What began as an “anti-rock” trio here becomes a devastatingly direct pop group, without sacrificing an inch of quiet intensity.

The trio have succeeded in topping Secret Name -- Things We Lost In The Fire has songs that are lush ('In Metal') and songs that are naked ('Whitetail') and adds a layer of fuzz and distortion ('Dinosaur Act'). Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker's voices remain at the center of Low's music, Zak Sally's bass anchors the whole with carefully-placed pauses, making every second count. After five albums, Low have moved beyond tags like 'slowcore,' pace is not nearly as important now as placement.
