Minnesota trio Low have announced a name and release date for their eighth long-player, and a one-night stop in the UK on a super-brief European jaunt.

Drums and Guns, their second album for Sub Pop, will be released March 20th 2007 stateside, and no doubt not long after in Europe.

Like 2005's The Great Destroyer, Drums and Guns was recorded with 'fourth Flaming Lip' Dave Fridmann and is said to contain "looping vocals and drum machines". My word. If you can't wait three months to hear the new material (but somehow can wait two), a one-off London show has been announced for mid-February.

February
15 London Spitz
16 Bruge, Belgium Music in Mind Festival
17 France TBA

Visit Alan Sparhawk's label site chairkickers.com for updates and info. Sparhawk's debut solo album, Solo Guitar (the title's literal), is out now via Silber.

Dave Fridmann is an incredible producer.

The Great Destroyer ...

... was patchy - "Monkey" was brilliant, "Death of a Salesman" was excellent and harrowing, but there was far too much cheap filler and lazy songwriting.

Truth, however, was a staggeringly brilliant record, which I need to listen to immediately.

AND THEY'RE PLAYING ATP IN APRIL! WOOOHOOOOOOO!

I'm so excited.
