Low - Secret Name (2LP)

Low’s Secret Name is a beautifully restrained and atmospheric album from the influential Minnesota slowcore trio. Originally released in 2001, the record finds Alan Sparhawk, Mimi Parker and Zak Sally creating a deeply immersive sound built around hushed vocals, sparse arrangements and carefully considered dynamics.

From the haunting “I Am the Lamb” and “Starfire” to the delicate beauty of “Lion and Lamb”, Secret Name balances intimacy and intensity, gradually revealing layers of guitar, percussion and harmony beneath its minimalist surface.

Produced by Tchad Blake, the album captures Low at a particularly accomplished point in their career, combining their signature slowcore sound with richer textures and a greater sense of scale. A quietly powerful and enduring record, Secret Name is essential listening for fans of Low and atmospheric, experimental indie music.
