In September 2012, when Low performed "Murderer" live at the Bumbershoot Music Lounge, the band was basking in the critical success of their album "C'mon," which had been released in April of the same year. "C'mon" marked a significant point in Low's career, showcasing a richer soundscape and more collaborative songwriting, which diverged from their earlier, minimalist aesthetic. The performance on KEXP, renowned for its intimate concert settings, perfectly captured the band's emotive and atmospheric style. This period was notable for Low as they continued to develop their identity within the indie rock scene, known for their haunting harmonies and poignant lyrics. The Bumbershoot festival is also a prestigious platform, highlighting the band's growing recognition and commitment to their craft during this dynamic era.
