As the first wave of slowcore groups hits pay dirt with reunions and deluxe reissues, it's worth noting that Low are one of the few who never really went away. After 15 years together, the Minnesota trio's minimal, emotionally bruised music remains impressively consistent. Low turned up the volume for their last couple of albums, but frontman Alan Sparhawk really chases after the rock muse with Retribution Gospel Choir — a side project he originally formed in 2005 with Mark Kozelek. The latter has since left, but Sparhawk's touring trio soldiers on, storming through the singer/guitarist's Neil Young-influenced tunes with fire and finesse.
