The Low Anthem sing along with the birds in NYC
Rhode Island’s The Low Anthem have been riding a wave of critical acclaim
of late. The band recently reissued their 2009 LP Oh My God, Charlie Darwin
LP on Nonesuch and were in New York after playing at the Bonnaroo Festival
in Tennessee.
We had originally planned to shoot a song backstage at the Bowery Ballroom
(to circumvent the venue’s $500 fee for filming bands during soundcheck) but
time got away from us. We reconvened the following day between Ben’s
recording sessions in an Upper East Side courtyard. Jeff folded out his WWI
portable pump organ and with the minimum of accompanying instrumentation
the band ran through a majestic acoustic version of To The Ghosts Who Write
History Books.
