The Low Anthem, US roots rockers and breakthrough stars of this year’s SXSW festival, will be playing an exclusive show at the MOJO Club in London on June 23.
The trio hail from Providence, Rhode Island and their second full-length album, Oh My God, Charlie Darwin with its meld of lush Americana and blues stompers, is already set to be one of the key new releases of 2009. Ben Knox Miller and Jeff Prytowsky began their partnership as an “electronica-songwriter fusion project”, before the entrance of the classically inclined Jocie Adams realigned their musical direction.
Reporting from The Low Anthem’s MOJO show at SXSW, Editor-In-Chief Phil Alexander described them as a band “with a sound based on intimacy, quiet charm and melody…The Low Anthem are truly songwriters and instrumentalists. Theirs is a gloriously romantic vision of America that sits somewhere between Dylan and Waits. Furthermore, they have the songs to seduce almost any crowd, and with shows looming with everyone from Josh Ritter to Bruce Springsteen that can only be a good thing.”
