Finally! It feels like I've been waiting forever for this thing to come out. The album was recorded by Ian Blurton and mixed by "In Between Evolution" producer Adam Kasper. Kasper seems to like working with Canadian bands of late. He also mixed the latest Weakerthans album. Anyway, here's the latest news for all you Low fans:
CANROCK LEGENDS LOWEST OF THE LOW JOIN MAPLEMUSIC RECORDINGS
MapleMusic Recordings is pleased to announce today that Lowest Of The
Low
has signed with the label for the release of their new album Sordid
Fiction
on September 21, 2004.
Formed in 1991 in Toronto The Low released two albums, 1991's seminal
Shakespeare My Butt and 1993's Hallucigenia before parting ways for a
six-year hiatus. Although the band was no longer together, their fan
base
never diminished and in 2000 Shakespeare My Butt reached the number six
spot
on Chart Magazine's Top 100 Canadian Albums Of All Time. That same
year the
former band mates joined forces again for a reunion tour resulting in
the
release of a live album Nothing Short of a Bullet, taped during sold
out
shows at Toronto's Kool Haus and Buffalo's The Tralf.
Lowest of the Low, comprised of Ron Hawkins (vocals/guitar), Stephen
Stanley
(vocals/guitar) and David Alexander (drums) have added some new members
to
the lineup. Lawrence Nichols, a long time Low collaborator who also
played
with Ron in the critically acclaimed Rusty Nails has joined The Low
full-time to play keyboards, harmonica and guitar in addition to
singing
back-up vocals. Veteran bass player Dylan Parker who met Stephen while
playing a few gigs with Stephen's post-Low outfit Lucky Stiff has since
become a permanent member of the band.
A tour that will take the band across Canada and to various cities in
both
the US and the UK is currently in the works for September.
Sordid Fiction was recorded over the last year at Chemical Sound
Recording
with an impressive team behind the console. Canadian rock genius Ian
Blurton (Blurtonia, Bionic, C'Mon) produced while Adam Kasper (Nirvana,
Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters) took on the mixing duties in
Seattle.
The album was mastered by Joao Carvalho (Pilate, Hawksley Workman, By
Divine
Right) at his new Toronto facility.
