Low + Dirty Three – In The Fishtank 7

The combination of sadcore legends Low and instrumental rockers Dirty Three—both groups were in Amsterdam for the Crossing Border festival in Amsterdam (now The Hague)—felt more intuitive. It is hard to believe that »In the Fishtank 7,« which includes a stunning 9 ½-minute-long rendition of Neil Young’s »Down by the River,« came together in a relatively short amount of time. Despite their apparent spontaneity, these are evocative pieces with subtle dynamics that flow as naturally as if they had been rehearsed over and over again.
