Have You Met: Low Wormwood

In their early days as an experimental folk band, they produced some work that was just as creative as anything by the master, Xiao He – but they never got the same kind of recognition. When avant-garde became “been there, done that,” Low Wormwood’s sound evolved into something much less extreme. Nowadays, they’re known for their amiable, down-to-earth rapport with audiences.

The buzz
Like a pot of strong and heavy liquor from the northwest.

Key track
“The Mute Bird”

They say:
Stay close to the ground.

We say:
Guzzle it down and let the aftertaste intoxicate you.
