"Formed in Duluth, Minnesota, in 1993, Low were perhaps the slowest of the so-called "slowcore" bands -- delicate, austere, and hypnotic, the trio's music rarely rose above a whisper, divining its dramatic tension in the unsettling open spaces created by the absence of sound." (Allmusic,com) I have their album Things We Lost in the Fir, which is considered their best and most accessible album, and can recommend it very much. Their version of Joy Division's Transmission was their contribution to the tribute album A Means to an End: The Music of Joy Division.
