As we move seamlessly into December, Low have unveiled the stunning 'Some Hearts (at Christmas Time)'. With Mimi Parker's lead vocal soaring above Alan Sparhawk's affected voice and saddening, hypnotic guitar motif, the cut - their latest foray into the festive work after 1999's acclaimed Christmas EP - is a poignant and deeply moving affair, and one that will no doubt translate effortlessly to the live stage as they head out on tour across the UK and Ireland this month. -G.O'B
