Low Anthem

Rhode Island based The Low Anthem is comprised of Jocie Adams, Ben Knox Miller, and Jeff Prytowsky. With their combination of various instruments, unique vocals and lyrics, they are geared up to make a lasting impression upon the music industry. Signed to Bella Union in Europe, they will release their first Nonesuch release, “Oh My God, Charlie Darwin,” on June 9. After their exhausting showing at South By Southwest this past march, BBC said to “Expect much flowerier words of praise thrown on this band in the future; they deserve everything said about them.” Mojo describe their set as “heartbreaking” and called the band, “truly startling songwriters and instrumentalists. Theirs is a gloriously romantic vision of America that sits somewhere between Dylan and Waits.” The Low Anthem co-produced “Oh My God, Charlie Darwin” with Jesse Lauter. The group, including a couple extras and 27 instruments, brought their equipment up to Block Island, RI to record in an empty summer cabin. The result is a beautiful fusion of heartbreak and hope, and one of the best releases so far of 2009.
