The Low Anthem stopped by the NPR studios in Washington, DC, this weekend for an appearance on the Sunday edition of All Things Considered for an exploration of their music, which NPR describes as "shimmering Americana." All three members of the band—Ben Knox Miller, Jeff Prystowsky, and Jocie Adams—were there to speak with host Guy Raz about their recent Nonesuch debut, Oh My God, Charlie Darwin; listen to a few tracks off the album; and perform "Ticket Taker" live in the studio.

"The Low Anthem introduces Oh My God, Charlie Darwin with a guitar strumming gently under a falsetto voice," says NPR. "It then echoes to a shimmer. It's a sound Uncut magazine called 'hymnal purity.'"

    "One of my favorite music labels has a momentous birthday: Nonesuch Records is turning 60 this year," says Deepa Fernandes, co-host of NPR's Here & Now, who spoke with Nonesuch President David Bither to mark the occasion. "Nonesuch has likely influenced your musical diet even if you didn't know it." "It's very hard to say what is a Nonesuch record," Bither says. "It's not a particular genre, but maybe it represents a particular kind of ambition and originality. There's a passionate audience for the music we've tried to champion." You can hear their conversation and several musical selections from over the years here.

It's another beautiful journey." Segarra made their debut on the show this weekend, accompanied by Johnny Wilson to perform songs from the new album The Past Is Still Alive and more, including a finale of "Midnight Special," with fellow guest Peter One. Segarra also spoke with Forster about their life, the new album, and more. You can watch the interview and performances here.
