But every time the portent threatens to become overbearing — just as the mix of prettiness and heaviness tips a little too far out of alignment — Low punctures it with a burst of cleansing aggression or some pristine, exquisite surprise. Anything to keep us off balance.” [“First Listen”] - NPR Music "One of the most impressive albums of their career" [4/5] – MOJO "Beautiful desolation....coolly exhilarating"  [4/5] -  Q “It’s anothersubtly heart-rending effort from a band that remains one of the very finest in the world. If you needed a reminder of why Low are an institution then this is it.” [8/10] - Drowned In Sound “The band's strengths are here in abundance, but they are reimagined, twisted into new shapes and given a visceral intensity that is utterly irresistible.” [9/10] - CLASH “...Striking a balance between their majestic, slow-moving melancholy and harsher experimental noise.” [4/5] - The Guardian "Ones And Sixes finds them producing some of their best work in years" - The Quietus
