This quintet, who aim to find the "midpoint between pretentious and geek", have been busy bees already, forming their current incarnation in 2006 and self-releasing 2 albums and an EP, all of which can be picked up here. Largely instrumental, the band's music drags you gently but firmly into its embrace, its mix of cello, synths, guitars, bass, drums and an occasional vocal, showcasing the band as the collaborative effort it is. The sound is warm, atmospheric and complex, at times sounding a bit like a more introverted Modest Mouse, with rougher edges and sharper elbows.

The band's latest album Signature Bridge came out last year and the 9 tracks of the band's post rock/math rock blend are well worth a listen. Quality track titles such as Ugly Babies, Haunted Mouse and To Evil! (Waltz) are a nice added bonus as well. According to The Stay Low's Twitter account they are currently working on new material with the odd gig thrown in now and again around their native Buffalo, with the next date seemingly August 1st at Mohawk Place.
