In Photos: Low + Oupa @ The Barbican, London (03.06.11)

Slowcore pioneers Low have swelled their ranks to incorporate a fourth member on keyboards for their current tour, a move that thankfully has done little to dilute the stark intimacy of the band's sound. At the start of the month they delivered a set that drew heavily from C'mon, their recent ninth LP, in the suitably classy surroundings of London's Barbican Hall - a performance that RW photographer Tim Ferguson described as controlled and fragile.

Yuck frontman Daniel Blumberg provided downbeat support under his new Oupa moniker, eschewing the riffs and hooks of his day job in favour of stripped-down piano ballads (look out for an album, Forget, later this month). You can check out Tim's photos of both acts on the night below:
