Low put out this EP in 2003 as a limited release. The title track sounds very basic and simple
at first, a three-chord guitar strum with Alan Sparhawk singing about how “you
may need a murderer… someone to do your dirty work” as Mimi Parker coos in the
background. The track builds and swells
wonderfully as Parker harmonises with Sparhawk as the guitars pick up the pace,
rising and falling in intensity as the track progresses.
Silver Rider, on the other hand, sounds unfinished. A drum pattern and keyboard pick out the
backing for this one, framing a ghostly melody.
The short EP finishes with the longest track here, From Your Place On
Sunset. This track is a classic,
slow-as-hell, plodding, growling Low track.
Parker and Sparhawk’s vocals on this one really bring it to life and it
works really well, with Sparhawk cranking out the guitars towards the end.
