The Low Anthem – Smart Flesh

  • March 14, 2011

Wildly acclaimed Providence, RI group The Low Anthem follows-up their 2008 hit “Oh My God, Charlie Darwin” with their fourth studio release, Smart Flesh. While their group has evolved, adding Mat Davidson (drums) to the lot of multi-instrumentalists Jocie Adams, Ben Knox Miller, and Jeff Prystowsky (jaw harp, musical saw, stylophone, antique pump organs, et al), their lyrical storytelling and trademark sound of ethereal, melancholic Americana remains strong. Self-produced and mixed by the talented Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, Monsters of Folk, M. Ward) and engineered by Jesse Lauter, Smart Flesh features the expansive sound and inherent echoes of their recording space – a vast industrial former pasta factory with additional garage based tracks. Smart Flesh is a gorgeous album that is sure to garner The Low Anthem even more fans. – Written by SMarx
