From the album Subliminal Plastic Motives (1995)
“So Low” by Self appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 1996. It was first released in 1995 on the album Subliminal Plastic Motives. Its best result is #81 on the WHFS Top 99.1 Songs of 1996. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #296 alternative song of 1996.
"So Low" was one of two singles sent out to carry Subliminal Plastic Motives, the debut album from Self, which Zoo Entertainment and Spongebath Records released on October 24, 1995. Self was really two brothers, Mike and Matt Mahaffey, who wrote and recorded the songs themselves, and the band produced this one on its own before mixing it with engineer Jim Faraci. A couple of outside hands chip in: Chris James on electric piano and Don Kerce on additional bass.
Like "Cannon", the other single, it came with a music video and picked up radio play, and the pair of them helped the album find its audience.
