Album Notes
On their 2009 release, OH MY GOD, CHARLIE DARWIN, Providence's the Low Anthem play delicate, meticulously constructed roots songs built on a comfortably worn folk template and featuring haunting vocal harmonies. The album's basic folk-rock structure is a familiar one, but sepia-toned songs such as "Ohio" and "Don't Tremble" still emanate a bittersweet truth. OMGCD is by and large a tranquil affair, but there are a few rave-ups (the firey, clanging "The Horizon is a Beltway" for one) thrown in for good measure. In the end, the Low Anthem's brand of Americana, not unlike that of M. Ward, offers nostalgic sentimentality held in check by a brilliant sense of craftsmanship. It's a delicate yet highly rewarding balance.

Editorial Reviews
The Low Anthem is at its best composing songs fit for a hipster orchestra, with Knox's delicate vocals backed by an assortment of quirky instrumentation....These 12 songs are exquisite.
Paste 

3 stars out of 5 -- [Songs] like the 'Cage the Songbird' are comfort-food folk, and uptempo tracks like the raucous, Pogues-y singalong 'The Horizon Is a Beltway' are even better.
Rolling Stone 

4 stars out of 5 -- The Low Anthem employ affecting harmonies, earthy blues, folk instrumentation and high levels of imaginative sympathy...
Q 

4 stars out of 5 -- The Low Anthem appropriately draw on the vast tradition of apocalyptic folk for 'The Horizon Is A Beltway'...
