Low Low Low La La La Love Love Love - "Blackbird 3" from Other Electricities on Vimeo.



"The fragile bedroom pop on the band’s second album is relaxed, compelling, and down-to-earth—no freak in this folk. Lead singer Kelly Dyson’s voice has been compared to Elliott Smith’s, and while it does have a similar breakable vibe, at times he sounds closer to a very mellow Isaac Brook. Banjos, neatly plucked guitars, and soothing vocals give the feeling that Ends of June was conceived on a screened-in porch and birthed in the comfort of a good friend’s kitchen. By the time the end of the album creeps up on you, you’ll be ready to hit “play” once more and let Low Low rock you all the way to sleep." - PopMatters



"Ends of June finds the brothers Dyson continuing on with their aching acoustic pursuits, and though a shift in personnel leaves June without the poignant feminine element of their former lineup, the album is still a radiant, multifaceted accomplishment. " - Crawdaddy



"It's immediate and warm, comforting and gentle -- filled with a sound more lovely than Iron and Wine could ever hope to accomplish on this side of the Atlantic." - Two Way Monologues



"Dyson along with others collaborated to forge an unforgiving and raw look deep inside to saturated emotional outbursts and seemed to achieve a bright and bellowing warm lo-fi apartment folk album that will last the test of time." - Smother



"Sure, a lot of acts are trying to pull off this modern day, melodramatic folk sound, but Low Low Low. pull it off with a great sense of ease and delicacy." - 30 Music



"Rooted firmly in the world of low/no-fi folk, this is a charming record that recalls the same juxtaposition of fragility and strength of character that suffused the early Elliott Smith albums." - Tangents



"‘Ends Of June’ is the sound of an English band not afraid to look to the USA for their inspiration, and it’s a happy wonder that it works quite this well. Any decent alphabetical collection should have it nestled next to Low forthwith." - SoundsXP



".But dont let light hearted tales of canine participation fool you in to thinking this is a light hearted record. With all of the songs written before, during and after the collapse of a long term relationship the record as a whole is an audio document of a long retreat home. Flickering and Fading is one of the best examples of the raw emotion present on this record and the fragile, angelic female vocal sits perfectly over the unrestrained male melody. " - Subba-Cultcha



"As acoustic documents of the breakdown of a long-term relationships go, this is up there. Recorded lo-fi style - in a bedroom apparently - this affecting release combines breathless harmonies and fragile tunes to achieve a strange warmth. Also makes Belle & Sebastian sound like Motorhead." - The Crack



"LLLLLLLLL combine the fragile voice of Kelly Dyson - a Badly Drawn Boy without the annoying songs or silly hat - and the feather light chirps of Natalia brightmore, singing harmony, into a warm blanket of homespun bedroom folk. Charting the course of a failed relationship, the songs are lovelorn and bruised - certainly more of the Low Low Low than the La La La. Rest Your Arms is a beauty, the gentle chorus varying from 'I know your arms are aching from holding things inside', to 'You know my arms are aching to be wrapped around your spine,' in an entrancing lyrical poem, with wilting vocals close to tears. One Good Thing I Say and Roadkill Moon are other low-lit highlights." - Maverick
