La Route Du Rock 2011, Saint-Malo - The DiS Review

In Depth by Sam Cleeve

DiS’s journey to La Route Du Rock 2011 begins aboard a ferry out of Portsmouth, where it’s roughly 2am, and I’m trying my absolute best to grab a precious ounce of sleep. Unfortunately, what with the fellow sat opposite me working overtime to see if he can successfully self-inflict a brain hemorrhage by way of snoring alone, and my own brain working overtime to try and discover what sort of karmic retribution had been dealt unto me in my having to witness an hour of seizure inducing ferry cabaret, I’m dragging my feet across St. Malo port the following morning having had next to no shut-eye.»

Ahead of the release of Low’s long-awaited new album, C’mon, (released today)DiS were invited into Alan Sparhawk’s hotel room in West London for a chat about how it all took shape.

DiS meets Alan Sparhawk from Retribution Gospel Choir and Low

In Depth by Alexander Tudor

With the release of the second Retribution Gospel Choir album, Alan Sparhawk’s “side-project” from Low looks set to become an equal partner. As ever, the deceptively simple music manages to be as powerful as Neil Young & Crazy Horse or Iggy & The Stooges without being a re-tread of either. DiS caught up with the man himself...»

Slowcore Week: Fifteen Years of Temporary Relief, with Low (part 1)

In Depth by Alexander Tudor

In an early interview, from 1996, Alan Sparhawk joked that Low originated from an idea to make the slowest, most depressing music possible (“…and then I thought “Cool!”). As one of the longest-running bands still (reluctantly) tagged "slowcore", it's fair to say this week wouldn't have happened without them...»

Snowed in? DiS presents its playlist for a day of the white stuff

In Depth by Mike Diver

FROM THE ARCHIVE: Originally posted Feb 9th 2007... So there’s me, in bed, still in that delightful state of being neither fully awake nor out cold, and the girlfriend’s leaping about and the curtains are open and it’s all “snow snow snow” and the radio newsreader’s telling me not to travel unless I really have to and I’m desperate to drift off again but before I know it the duvet’s off and I’m marched to the kitchen window to gaze at a garden smothered with six inches of the stuff...»

ATP Weekend One: The Dirty Three: the DiS diary...

In Depth by A bunch of drunk DiS writers

DrownedinSound.com went to All Tomorrow’s Parties’ The Dirty Three-curated weekender at the end of April. We arrived full of excitement, bubbling like freshly poured pints of £3-a-pop lager. Then we drank too many £3-a-pop lagers and fell over the garden furniture outside our chalet. Loudly. And annoyed our neighbour. Sorry...»

DiS is 6! Our 66, part 1

In Depth by Mike Diver

Let the DiScussing begin! We’ve been racking brains – prior to pulverising each other’s – at the DiSopolis these past few weeks to come up with our top 66 albums of the past six years; the very best records to see the light of day during DiS’s lifetime (yes, six years). Arguments have been won and lost, a handful of frankly incredible artists have improbably missed the cut through forgetfulness and space constraints, and we’ve all got quite, quite drunk along the way...»
