Hear The Low Anthem In Concert From Newport Folk

On its sophomore album, The Low Anthem introduces Oh My God, Charlie Darwin with a guitar strumming gently under a falsetto voice. It then echoes to a shimmer. It's a sound Uncut Magazine called "hymnal purity." The Low Anthem is a trio of recently-graduated Ivy Leaguers. The band's songwriting and sound is a sort of updated version of American folk and roots, featuring everything from Appalachian balladry to full-throated bluesy stomps. In an interview with Guy Raz, the band explains the significance of Charles Darwin and performs a song from the new album.
