iTunes Review

The dark Americana tones of The Low Anthem’s 2007 debut, What the Crow Brings, piqued the interest of many alt-folk fans, but mostly flew under the radar. Oh My God, Charlie Darwin is more energetic than the debut, with a grungy blues aesthetic fueling tracks like the Tom Waits-ish “The Horizon is a Beltway”, as well as the more spiritually inclined “Don’t Let Nobody Turn You Around”. Fans of Deer Tick and Fleet Foxes should feel at home here; foot stomper “Home I’ll Never Be” might put a hole right through the floorboards, and the weightless, reverbed falsetto of “Charles Darwin” and hymnal harmonics on tracks like “Cage the Songbird” recall the Foxes’ stellar work. Instruments like zither, clarinet, pump organ and even a music box sprinkle a bittersweet and oddly nostalgic feel throughout; “To Ohio” sighs with wistfulness, all swelling woodwinds and barely picked guitars, and the spirit of vintage Bob Dylan permeates several tracks, especially the intimate “Don’t Tremble”. Oh My God is full of beautiful, inspired alt-folk music, made with loving care.

Customer Reviews

Great album for fans of Americana

Fans of Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver will likely love this album. There are lots of lovely harmonies, particularly on the title track. Champion Angel has a Dylanesque vocal (and great harmonica solo too). Many of the earlier tracks on the album are emotionally charged. It's certainly more 'rocky' in parts than both Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes, but it contains enough interest here to warrant a purchase if you're a fan of Americana.

Wow!

Bought this on a whim as i fancied something new to listen to, and strewth, what an album! Think americana, great harmonies and a healthy dose of Tom Waits, well worth a fiver of your hard earned cash.

Great live band

I saw these guys live at Union Chapel in London a few weeks ago and it was a phenomenal gig. Really intimate but also direct and always engaging. Quality album and definitely worth a purchase at less than a fiver!

The Low Anthem's unique brand of Americana makes room for gospel, folk, and blues, a blend that began taking shape in their hometown of Providence, RI.

Jocie Adams joined one year later, and the group began widening its arsenal of instruments...
