"Oh My God, Charlie Darwin" Cover Art
"Oh My God, Charliw Darwin" Lyrics

NPR
"Quintessential purveyor of rootsy rock."


Paste Magazine
"They're constantly mixing up tempo, volume and instrumentation, but always in lock-stop harmony, like a beautifully turned double play."


Paste
"Time-honored, and astonishingly innovative."


The Boston Globe
"Superbly crafted, grandly eloquent songs."

Performing Songwriter
"A eclectic, genre-bending compilation comprised of lurid imagery and musical complexity."

Bruce Warren (WXPN), Some Velvet Blog
"If there's a new definition of Americana, The Low Anthem have created it.""


NPR
"handmade songs"


The New Yorker
"scruffy folk-rock out of Providence, RI"

The Tripwire
"At their most raucous, The Low Anthem sound like a folk-rock-blues jam band, shoutin’, hollerin’ and lettin’ it all hang out, probably at something called a shin-dig. But at their calmest, the music is introspective, evocative, melody-driven and full of all the emoting, intensity and pain you could ever need. "

WERS
"beautiful harmony"

Northeast Performer Magazine
"Borders between genres mean little when a band amasses so many influences, and yet the songs form a cohesive album, evoking images of theological calamities and man’s struggle to survive...it seems The Low Anthem is poised to make it to the top of the food chain, without the bloodshed."

The Providence Journal
"gentle lull of the title track and the loud raunch ... make for a striking contrast."

Providence Phoenix
"Heaven-sent and handmade"

The New Haven Advocate
"lushly reverential"

The New Haven Advocate
"Delicate folk ballads rub shoulders with rattling garage-roots rockers, delicate falsettos with raw-throated eruptions. Melodic turns of phrase straight out of American antiquity frame lyrics set in the landscape of our contemporary world."

Portland Phoenix
"a band we’ll all be talking about in the next year."

Aspen Daily News
"the ageless quality of crafting songs with space to breath, welcoming the silence, finding unique, organic sounds"

Providence Daily Dose
"a devastatingly beautiful record"

Phoning It In
"perfect Americana in the deepest historical sense"

Brooklyn Hunkering
"This album will make you want to flush your cell phone down the toilet, pack a knapsack, and move on west. You could plant grain on this album. You could build a house on this album. Hell, you could settle down and start a family on this album. Maybe that’s why they call it roots music."

Captain Obvious
"The band covers sparse material and raucous jangle with equal mastery and Oh My God, Charlie Darwin is some top-notch Americana."

Advance Copy
"effective and adept at both quiet Americana and folk-rock that meets gruffy, gritty blues."

Seven Days
"an artistic marvel as challenging and comforting to the mind as it is to the senses."

Providence Phoenix
"Best Album 2008"

Northeast Performer Magazine
"a Spanish heartbreaker, a war-ritual at a local saloon, and a man going insane"

Jambands.com
"An album for those of us who have been yellowed by time..an album stripped down and laid bare, without pretension."

Providence Phoenix
"A talented act capable of great things."

Times Argus
"Vintage indie-folkers...understatedly brilliant multi-instrumentalists"

411mania.com
"Packaged in recycled cereal boxes in true DIY fashion, the sound enclosed reeks of typewriters, dusty dirt roads, artful exploration and a mindful appreciation of predecessors studied and adored. Think: Tom Waits, Neil Young, Wilco."

thisismodern.net
"Bob Dylan."

captainobvious.net
"You might hear a pump-organ, tube harp, marimba, or toy piano...an album that was crafted with care."
