Their unique brand of Americana makes room for gospel, folk, and blues and manages to rise way above its influences, through its startling lyrical imagery and magical melodies. The Low Anthems musical palette is a very broad one, hushed solemn moments are punctuated by soaring rock-outs, which show off some apocalyptic folk influences.After making their independent debut with 2007's What the Crow Brings, the band rang in 2008 by recording an album with producer Jesse Lauter which the band initially self-released under the title Oh My God, Charlie Darwin. As their buzz continued to build, the Low Anthem signed a contract with Nonesuch Recordings and reissued Oh My God in 2009"The Low Anthem could have sprung fully formed off a Fillmore poster, circa 1968: one part Dylan's erudition, one part Neil Young's hallucinatory visions, one part The Band's rootsy austerity, one part Leonard Cohen's apocalyptic melancholy." (Uncut)"ethereal transcendence laden with poignancy" (The Guardian)"The Low Anthem are a classic American band in the making. Their last album, Oh My God Charlie Darwin, which came out on Bella Union last year, fired up the MOJO readers' imagination with its mix of Dylan-meets-Waits Americana. To be honest, they're still a well kept secret but this year will belong to them. MOJO readers prove themselves once again one step ahead of the pack by voting them the Breakthrough Act of the last 12 months."

Bigsby Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I get mixed up between The Low Anthem and The Gaslight Anthem, which ones are the good ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humey Whilem Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Awesome!I saw them live over here a few months ago, this was by far my fave gig of the year. Although Megafaun was awesome too, try to get them!The youtube stuff is really sweet but does not even remotely do justice to the live gigs. Really nice people too. They played on and on, really enjoying themselves and playing lots longer than they were supposed to. They closed off with a cappella stuff, getting the opening act back on stage for that too.

Graeme Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 If anybody cares to supply pants for Mountain Mans rider (3 woman just in case you wondered) please feel free. I refused to do so fearing I'd buy the wrong size thus causing embarrassment all round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Owl PhD Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Own up. Who was the nutjob?Good show, eh?Very much enjoyed the show and, the one person aside, the audience was pretty well behaved and quiet for both bands. I like that each member of the Low Anthem has a different arrangement of facial hair - something for everyone there. The only thing missing was that I was hoping they would swap hats when they swapped instruments. That would have been a nice touch, but you can't have everything.
