The Low choose to start from their songwriting. And to systematically destroy it.
They are aided in this by a sickly electronic sound that disintegrates the songs and sounds, rather than building and adding.
The record of the global pandemic. Darkness spreading. The cry of pain breaks in the throat and decomposes on the lips. In the void, a small flame. Hope? Beauty? That remains, the darkness becomes the backdrop.
.....hey, what the heck did I just write?

"Double Negative is one of those albums that provoke a sense of alienation after the first listen, greater awareness after the second, and a sudden and irreversible love from the third onwards."
The production by B. J. Burton is perfect and incredibly meticulous in untangling such a complex and richly layered sound mix.
