It has been quite some time since the last Reader Suggestion was posted here. But recently, a good friend asked if I'd be interested in reviewing City and Colour's latest Single "Low Songs". I didn't know the artists before so I gave it a listen, and yes, I am interested!
"Low Songs" is not called that way because the songs are low. The name derives from the fact that City and Colour has reinterpreted two songs by Dallas-based band Low. The two songs 'Murderer' and 'Sunflower' have already made it to TV, as thy were featured in documentary reports and series.
The interpretations of the two songs by City and Colour follow the basic structure of Low's originals. Nevertheless, the Canadian musician alterates the two pieces to give them a whole different atmosphere. And atmosphere is the word that makes this release so beautiful. With his (mostly) acoustic Indie guitar, the Ambient air and his solid but thin voice City and Colour presents a minimalist and atmospheric version of the two Low songs.
If you want to discuss on who played it better, you can do that in the comment section of my pages.
I can only say so much: I enjoy both versions and I appreciate the ambient beauty that City and Colour has added to his songs.
