Low Roar

Ever since Low Roar dropped 0 - which was just objectively perfect art - it's been a constant series of comparisons. Everything they've done since then has been immaculately produced, jaw-droppingly beautiful, and spine-tinglingly emotional, with their only true faults basically being that they weren't 0. As they've shapeshifted between electronic music, folk, and post-rock, they've retained what makes them special each step of the way. Whatever genre Low Roar adopts is just a fleshy exterior covering a superior musical genetic makeup, and I'm tired of pretending that it even matters what specific style they happen to be employing. The simple fact of the matter is that Low Roar don't know how to be imperfect, they just head into the studio and breathe out universal truths through soul-shattering ruminations and life-affirming celebrations. Every single time, it's a fucking gut punch.
