LOW - Shame Live Performance at STINKWEEDS, Tempe, AZ
In April 1996, Low was still riding the wave of critical acclaim from their previous album, "Long Division," which had dropped just a year earlier. This period marked a pivotal moment in their career as they were establishing their signature sound, defined by their haunting harmonies and minimalist instrumentation. The live performance of "Shame" recorded at Stinkweeds Records in Tempe, Arizona, showcases their ability to create an intimate atmosphere, even in a retail setting. Interestingly, the band's unique blend of slowcore and subtle experimentation began to garner them a dedicated fan base, setting the stage for their future successes. Each song felt like a journey, drawing listeners deeply into their world—a testament to their artistry and evolution during this era.
