Low announce Ones and Sixes – hear 'No Comprende'

Low have announced their eleventh album, Ones and Sixes.

The Minnesota outfit will release the follow-up to 2013’s The Invisible Way on September 11 via Sub Pop. As Pitchfork reports, the album was recorded at Justin Vernon’s April Base Studios in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and features contributions from Glenn Kotche of Wilco.

Alan Sparhawk described the recording process in a statement: “BJ [Burton] contacted us a few years ago and invited us out to the studio where he works with Justin [Vernon], Lizzo, and other artists. The studio is close to our home in Duluth, so it seemed tempting. Months later, I worked with BJ, producing the recent record by Trampled by Turtles. We got along and seemed to have similar curiosity about the possibilities for Low, so time was booked and songs finished.

“We tracked under the soft glow of laser discs playing lost classics like Point Break and Speed. Glenn Kotche from Wilco was there one day working on another record, so we had him in to play hand-percussion on a couple songs. Working 2 or 3 days at a time, leaving it with BJ, then back again for more, we don’t have the time or money to second-guess or pick from a pool of possibilities. This is the whole thought—the untamed truth. This is now. This is everything.”
