   About LOW WATER
Low Water's work has garnered praise from NPR, Amplifier Magazine, AM New York, The Pittsburgh Post Gazette, West Coast Performer, Cincinnati CityBeat, The Davis Enterprise, and PBS. Two of the band's videos have been featured on FUSE On Demand; the most recent of which ("Go") was done in collaboration with modern dance troupe sleepdance and members of The Momenta Quartet.

LOW WATER: Twisting the Neck of the Swan


And on iTunes !
Check out the video for Go on FUSE ON Demand...

SOME RECENT ACCOLADES AND OVATIONS PERTAINING TO "TWISTING THE NECK OF THE SWAN"...

"This band's music is sheer bliss and genius...clearly one of the best unsigned bands in pop rock at the moment..." -- Indierockcafe.com

"Twisting the Neck of The Swan" showcases the type of ambition and obvious love for music that so often is lacking in today's current musical climate... they are sure to be festival and NPR radio darlings."
--The BNAC Music Blog

"Take a moment and forget the tight pants, chucks, and American Apparel posers... or not; all anyone needs is just one listen to Low Water’s music, and all pretense will be forgotten. ... This band is not anti-hipster but perhaps pre-hipster -- a band that plays music to only play music, without too much emphasis on what others think. They just happen to sound good while they do it..." --beatcrave.com (Los Angeles)

"Beautiful music, and this calm realness that just oozes from the members and the stage and into the space..." --loveourcity.com (New York)

"Low Water breaks the mold of the sound of a Brooklyn band, with obvious comparisons to the more nuanced and dreamy side of Wilco and latter-day Replacements..."Twisting the Neck of the Swan" adds some horn parts as well as strings to flesh out the band's moody and gimmick-free sound..."
--Post-Gazette A&E Weekend (Pittsburgh)

"With a classic sound updated with poetic lyrics and atmosphere, Low Water edges on high art" --The Pitt News

WHAT'D YOU CALL ME?

"...Back-to-basics rock ‘n roll that awakens you to just how desperate you’ve been for a band that’s not afraid to sound this real...no single flourish of the band’s deceptively nuanced sound clutches you by the throat to throng you in their desperate genius; they’re that rare young band that knows how to let the music speak for itself..."--culturespill.com

"Though Low Water may be from Williamsburg, their brand of hyphen free rock music has more in common with the rust belt than expensive, trendy, studded belts." -- irockcleveland.blogspot.com

"Honest, unpretentious rock is a precious comodity; Low Water is the real deal... delivering the goods with uncompromising simplicity and homage to the spirit of rock and roll"
--AMPLIFIER MAGAZINE

"'Who Said That Life Is Over?' defies its Williamsburg roots as the hottest anti-hipster record this year."
- Kevin Keating, ORIGIVATION MAGAZINE, PHILADELPHIA

"In both sound and subject matter ("Who Said That Life Is Over?") conjures up the ghosts of wasted nights sitting around playing the sad songs on Exile on Main St. on a turntable, surrounded by empties and cigarette butts ... and the helpless (but not hopeless) feeling that life makes sense ... even if you're royally fucked tomorrow."
--Aaron Jentzen, PITTSBURGH CITY PAPER

"Classic rock as filtered through a weird amalgam of slacker rock, Brit-pop and some slight country too ...gorgeous melodies...well done."
--DAGGER, PORTLAND

"... Strong songs with accessable lyrics, memorable melodies and solid guitar riffs."
-- AM NEW YORK

"Brit influences like XTC and The Beatles sneak into the mix, but Low Water's (sound) is melodic, American Rock".
--MESH MAGAZINE, SAN FRANCISCO

"Low Water are brilliant lyricists and engaging rockers ...dozens of lyrical gems surface throughout the record, as well as a nice variety of studio bells and whistles that color each song... 'House in the City' is a standout..."
-- Ben Krieger, JEZEBELMUSIC.COM

"Their laid-back rock, full of slow guitar riffs and supported by John Leitera's rough vocals is a perfect prelude to the last long weekend of summer."
-- S. Davis, THE DELI

"Low Water prove you still neither have to reinvent the wheel nor cater to modern tastes to make wonderfully constructed rock & roll full of smarts and power..."
-- Mike Breen, CINCINNATI CityBeat

"Gritty post-Replacements rock with style and substance...Great lyrics, better vocals, with some nice guitar noise to distract you while the melody invades your brain and sets up shop."--PITTSBURGH POST GAZZETTE

"(Low Water’s) sound is decidedly down to earth … fuzzy guitars and literate but still- accessible lyrics..."--NUVO, INDIANAPOLIS

"...sounding a little bit Alt-Country (if Alt-country spent time in a smoky French café), Low Water is sure to make the ladies swoon with their knack for songcraft and an aching heart.."--SELLOUT MAGAZINE

The songs are tight, the melodies are catchy, and the riffs are firmly rooted in a classic, dirty blues tradition...with that vinyl-era sound that never really goes out of fashion...."--WEST COAST PERFORMER

"...Pouting, heart-on-sleeve songs are elevated above your average Emo rock by melodic and tasteful guitar playing, subtle humor, and masterful and clever wordplay...leaves you wanting more. ...San Francisco's loss is New York City's gain."- Michael Burbo, THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

"Strong songs...gravitating guitar work...multiple vocal harmonies...(Low Water) are gathering up more critical praise day in and day out."
- SMOTHER.NET

Hey, thanks for the add.
I must say, I am pretty impressed with your sound. I almost didn't want to leave a comment right away. I became a little caught up listening to all the songs.
So, hows it going?
