Composition

Musically, a shift made itself evident to critics reviewing Ones and Sixes, reaping generally positive assessments. While its predecessor The Invisible Way saw Jeff Tweedy of Wilco handling the production duties, Ones and Sixes would feature Bon Iver associate B.J. Burton producing alongside Low for the first time. He went on to produce their albums Double Negative and Hey What.

The change in technical personnel would result in the trio's sound being "pushed, pulled and wrangled out of shape to devastating effect,"^[2] "striking a balance between their majestic, slow-moving melancholy and harsher experimental noise."^[18]
