Low Low Low La La La Love Love Love: Feels, Feathers, Bog and Bees

Low Low Low La La La Love Love Love: Feels, Feathers, Bog and Bees All the way from the U.K. comes the third album by Low Low Low La La La Love Love Love. Feels, Feathers, Bog and Bees was released October 27th through Other Electricities. The album was produced by Adem Ilhan from the band Fridge. While the album contains more electronic sounds than their previous two, and is a bit louder, Feels, Feathers, Bog and Bees still has a soft, folksy feel to it. "Document 19" starts off with a waltz beat. A violin plays the same chord over and over accompanied by an accoustic guitar. Only later does an electric guitar come in to give the song more volume and substance. Like the rest of the album, this song builds around harmonies, particularly with the vocals. On the track "Blackbird 1", the band reminds me of Remy Zero, particularly with the vocals. Yet, with two other tracks, "Blackbird 2" and "Blackbird 3", the album loses some luster. The three songs are very similar, akin to being three movements of one symphonic piece. This "haven't I heard this song all ready" feeling starts to take over on the album. "Friend to Mine" is a short song with a mixture of accoustic plucking and distorted electric guitar. The kicker to the song is the distortion of the vocals only slightly in a love song hidden behind a bit of a harder sound. The rest of the album comes off as sounding unoriginal in terms of copying itself. The songs start to sound very similar. And if this is loud and electronic, it makes me wonder what they were doing on their previous albums. The songs are arranged nicely, and the harmonies work. But who wants to buy an album that feels like 13 tracks of pretty much the same few songs? Rating: 4.9/10 MP3: Low Low Low La La La Love Love Love "Friend to Mine" Buy: iTunes
