A feat that was achieved a year earlier by "Setting Sun", when it was named "Number 47 Track of the Year" by the same publication. Click Music'''s, Donna Dobson, called it, "one of the most interesting tunes of the year", and "a primal, almost raw, blending of blues with dirty rock 'n' roll". "Low Happening" played on season three's, episode thirteen entitled, "The Pot Stirrer", of the popular American television serial-drama, The OC.
