"Retribution Gospel Choir, the side project of Low frontman Alan Sparhawk, has announced its third record, and the details make it sound like a doozy. The not-so-creatively titled 3 features just two songs—“Can’t Walk Out” and “Seven”—each of which clocks in at about 20 minutes long. “Can’t Walk Out” has been a staple of the band’s live show for some time now, and “Seven” features guest guitarist Nils Cline of Wilco." - The Onion A.V. Club
the revolution EP is the first new music from Retribution Gospel Choir since the band’s 2010 album 2. These four incredibly anthemic tracks were co-produced with Matt Beckley, and they show the band moving in an exciting, new direction, at speed.
On 2…
“Seriously heavy, Crazy-Horse-ish workouts….” UNCUT****“a terrific slab of rough-hewn alt-rock” Q****
“If this is a cunning plan to get mainstream rock fans into Low, I’m all for that. If it’s just the emergence of a storming power trio, well that’s fine too” SUNDAY TIMES****
"Retribution Gospel Choir - 3Q: How do you follow-up a four-song 7”?A: With a two-song full-length.One song per side, this radio-format-challenged record will come out January 22, 2013 on Chaperone Records. Side A “Can’t Walk Out” is the crown jewel of recent RGC live shows with it’s repetitive, building, almost free, freakout - so far, probably the most accurate recording of what the band brings to the stage. Side B “Seven” sees the more sprawling side of the band - haunting, epic, and enhanced throughout by guest guitarist Nels Cline. These songs were tracked live, playing together in the same room, one take each.A friend of mine used to play Frank Zappa’s “Uncle Meat” at 16 rpm all the time. How do you recover from that?You don’t. -RGC

4 months agoIn the trio Retribution Gospel Choir, Low’s Alan Sparhawk and Steve Garrington clear away that band’s tranked-out haze to play raw classic-rock covers and recast Sparhawk’s own material with more distortion and immediacy. more at avclub.com
