Excerpt

The Low Anthem's Nonesuch debut, Oh My God, Charlie Darwin, is set for release tomorrow. The album's first track, "Charlie Darwin," opens this week's episode of NPR's All Songs Considered. "If you listen to just one song today," insists the show's host, Bob Boilen, "make it this opening track to the new CD by The Low Anthem. It all starts off with a sound that at times feels Gospel and then at the very same time feels agnostic. Those two ideas seem at odds with one another, but then the title of the record's called Oh My God, Charlie Darwin."

"If you listen to just one song today," insists the show's host, Bob Boilen, "make it this opening track to the new CD by The Low Anthem.

Those two ideas seem at odds with one another, but then the title of the record's called Oh My God, Charlie Darwin."

NPR Music had previously chosen the album's second track, "To Ohio," as a Song of the Day, calling it a "tender stunner" in the process. Earlier this year, the band was featured on two NPR programs, World Cafe, and Mountain Stage, performing songs from the album for the latter program's 25th-anniversary special.

To mark the album's release, the band will perform in concert across the US and Europe this summer. Up next are multiple sets at the Bonnaroo Festival in Manchester, Tennessee, this weekend, followed by a performance at New York City's Bowery Ballroom on Monday, June 15. A number of tour dates have recently been added; for information, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.
