The Low Anthem’s beautifully mournful music swept us all away Monday morning. Their live Morning Becomes Eclectic set showed a group of true musicians playing a wide variety of instruments – a saw, a pump organ and… a charm bracelet.
Actually the bracelet is just an accessory worn by singer Ben Knox Miller for good luck, a jangly string of bells and more. But the point is still the same – their unique instrumentation is what makes their hauntingly beautiful songs stand out. And their togetherness. For “Love and Altar”, they all stood together in a circle harmonizing. It was really special. Another standout was “Boeing 737”, Jason’s favorite and the one that’s been getting the most airplay here.
