(From BBC) If this south London trio’s name suggests we play the name game, then words beginning with L that suit them include “languid”, “limpid”, “luminous” and, indeed, “Low”. Anyone bewitched by the blissful, woozy and yet edgy sad-core of that Duluth, Minnesota trio will want to hear this debut album, though Something Beginning With L possess a different kind of fragile tension, fuzzier and sweeter. On top, they have two female singer/guitarists in Lucy Parnell and Jen Macro (both current members of Graham Coxon’s Power Ensemble), creating a more sinewy, cross-stitched dynamic. Whirring synths (played by bassist Jon Clayton) are also involved. Plus SBWL occasionally find third gear (though not fourth). Imagine a quieter, dreamier Throwing Muses as much as Low.
