Closer Than That: A Documentary on Low

About This Movie

Closer Than That is a candid peek into the life of Low, the Duluth band known for its slow, haunting melodies. The documentary unfolds over two years, capturing intimate moments—members sifting through old snapshots, dealing with the awkwardness of interviews, and serenading a baby. It’s not just about the music; it’s about the mundane and the profound intertwining in their everyday lives. The pacing is mellow, akin to their sound, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere. There’s a raw authenticity here, the kind that only comes when a band lets you into their world without pretense. You get the sense of their camaraderie, their struggles, and even the traffic jams that feel somehow significant. It’s a slice of life that reflects the band's ethos more than just their songs ever could.
