New Low Video Features Mike Love Apologist

I made a note to remind you wonderful music freaks that the awesome Low are back with a new album, and for some strange reason, they invited John Stamos to the party. That's right, the Full House dude who may be the only person who can claim Mike Love as his Broseph, has found his way into fairly relevant video for us slowcore fans who actually lived down the road from the City of Joeseph.

The record label spiel begins now:

C'mon, the shortest title of any Low album to date is officially available on CD/LP and digitally, as of yesterday April 12th.

Comprised of new material written on and off the road, this ten-song set was recorded in a former Catholic church, aka Sacred Heart Studio (where the band previously crafted 2002's Trust) and co-produced and mixed by Matt Beckley.

Yesterday, ET premiered the video for Low's ”Try to Sleep” which features actor, John Stamos.

This is what Stamos had to say about how he came to be a part of the video:

"I'm actually good friends with their producer Matt Beckley, and he had played me some of the record while they we're making it, which I loved. Ironically it turns out I was a big fan of one of their older songs "Cue the Strings"... I'm a sucker for a well written song with great harmonies, and when it came time for them to cast the video, they asked if I'd like to be involved, I liked the concept I was happy to be a part of it. The new record is on all the time at my place. One of my favorite indie bands."

Low will begin a tour tomorrow, Thursday, April 14, in their hometown of Duluth, MN, with a very special in store on Saturday April 16 at Electric Fetus in Minneapolis, 4:00 pm, in honor of Record Store Day 2011.

Those of you on the left coast, fear not, the band have just announced a slew of West Coast dates in early September, playing shows in such cities as Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
