The Low Anthem

Dearest Low Anthem. I never knew you existed. I’m so sorry. You folks are simply divine. From the gritty chops of Ben Knox to the musicianship of Jeff Prystowsky and the harmonies of Jocie Adams, these sounds do a spirit good.

If you folks like the sound of Bon Iver, this is as soft and intimate as “For Emma, Forever Ago” and dare I say maybe more so.  It was even recorded in a winter cabin. “Oh My God Charlie Darwin” was self-released in September of 2008 and we are all running late for a date with this band. So I suggest you hurry up and have a listen.

Ready, Able

The new video from Grizzly Bear off the “NEW MOON” soundtrack. Don’t ask me how this film pulled so many decent artists i.e. Thom Yorke, Bon Iver and St. Vincent. The song is so hauntingly beautiful, freaking love the sound of Ed Droste’s voice. It feels like you’re getting a group hug from heavenly angels. The claymation in this video is either extremely disturbing or an ingenious work of art. I propose both.

Also, heading out to a Julian Casablancas concert tonight with my buddy Maz. Free Free Free. That’s the only way I can hack it. I will tell you alllllll about it this weekend.Oh…you haven’t heard much from him? That’s because his solo album was just released. Here’s a taste. Savor the flavor.
