The Low Anthem: Smart Flesh

Rhode Island-based folk-rockers

The Low Anthem have made some large strides in just a few short years. A mere two and a half years ago they self-released their sophomore album,

Oh My God, Charlie Darwin, which made quite a splash, despite its relative scarcity. The following year the band was signed to Nonesuch Records, who remastered, reordered and rereleased the album to even wider acclaim. This month, the band offer the follow-up release,

Smart Flesh

, one of the most anticipated albums of the spring. And listening to it, one feels like the band took the energy of anticipation and used it to fuel their best album yet.

-- Eric J. Lawrence, KCRW DJ and Music Librarian
