C’mon is the shortest title of any Low album, which seems fitting, as it also ranks among the most succinct and straightforward entries in their variegated discography. Singer-guitarist Alan Sparhawk has even perfected the "elevator pitch" for C’mon: "Recorded in an old church in Duluth, MN and mixed in an apartment in Hollywood, CA." But […]
