The Curtain Hits the Cast is the third studio album by American indie rock band Low. It was released in 1996 on Vernon Yard Recordings.

Ryan Schreiber, wrote for Pitchfork:

On the new record, Low have abandonded indie rock producer/god, Kramer who "discovered" the band and produced all of their previous releases. New producer, Steve Fisk (who has worked with Nirvana and Boss Hog) gives the album an ever more stark feel, though the difference is not truly noticeable.

On the whole, The Curtain Hits the Cast is stunning, though I think the band could use a change of pace. Nothing dramatic, but perhaps trying to incorporate pianos or keyboards. Even though Low is more about a minimalistic rather than an overblown, overproduced approach, it may do them some good to try new things. I can't complain, though. There's never been such a thing as a bad Low album, and I suspect there never will be.

You Can Take The Square Out of the Plaza, but You Can't Take the Plaza Out of the Square

Turn on the light.
No more darkness.

And JCMF.
All those motherfuckers are gonna pay.

Ci ho messo più di tre mesi per decidermi di ascoltarlo, il disco con cui Alan Sparhawk elabora il lutto per la perdita della moglie e compagna musicale Mimi Parker. Faceva caldo, ero soprattutto là fuori, non ero dell'umore adatto per affrontarlo. Poi è arrivato settembre, settembre è il mese del lutto e così oggi mi sono deciso: ne esco ferito e a pezzetti. Il pianto disperato degli archi seguito dal canto dolce della figlia Hollis alla fine di questo pezzo? Ciao 😭
