Retribution Gospel Choir Finishing New Album

From the Low e-mail newsletter:

"...Alan’s side project, Retribution Gospel Choir, just finished tracking new material with Steve Albini in Chicago for an upcoming release — more to come on that soon.  Best wishes for 2009 for you all."

Video of Low at the Knitting Factory in 1996

"Back in 1996, I was working as a producer, director, cameraman and lighting designer for Knit Media, creating live online content for the web. When one of my favorite bands Low booked an appearance, I jumped at the chance to produce and direct a live multicamera video of their performance."
