Excerpt

The official music video for The Low Anthem's "Boeing 737," off the band's new album, Smart Flesh, has premiered on SPIN. In the video, the band goes "1800s retro," says SPIN's Dan Jackson, "as members of an oddball circus, who battle a group of high-wire walkers. It's totally weird yet totally poignant." The new video was directed by End of the Road Pictures, which created the beautiful animated video for The Low Anthem's "Charlie Darwin." Tickets are now on sale for the band's spring and summer tour.

The official music video for The Low Anthem's "Boeing 737," off the band's latest Nonesuch release, Smart Flesh, has just premiered on SPIN. In the video, the band goes "1800s retro," says SPIN's Dan Jackson, "as members of an oddball circus, who battle a group of high-wire walkers. It's totally weird yet totally poignant." Check it out for yourself at spin.com.

The new video was directed by End of the Road Pictures, which created the beautiful animated video for "Charlie Darwin," off The Low Anthem's previous album, Oh My God, Charlie Darwin. You can watch that video on the Nonesuch Records YouTube channel and at nonesuch.com/media.

As noted earlier this week in the Nonesuch Journal, The Low Anthem is wrapping up its European tour, with support from The Head and the Heart, at shows in Manchester tonight, Dublin on Sunday, and a sold-out tour closer at Queen Elizabeth Hall in London on Monday. The band will return to the United States next week for a spring and summer tour that includes headline shows (like the newly added date at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg) and dates with Iron & Wine and Mumford & Sons. Tickets are on sale now for all the US tour dates. For more information and ticket links, go to nonesuch.com/on-tour.

"The Low Anthem, from Providence, do very little by convention," says the Australian in a new feature on the band and the new album. "Their atmospheric, rootsy music draws on a number of American folk traditions, from gospel to blues and country, but through unorthodox instrumentation ... and an equally original approach to recording, the band has carved a niche for itself. It's music that is hard to define, but wouldn't be too uncomfortable sitting between the output of Tom Waits and the Cowboy Junkies." Read more at theaustralian.com.au.

    The Way Out of Easy, the first album from guitarist Jeff Parker and his long-running ETA IVtet—saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, drummer Jay Bellerose—since their 2022 debut Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy, which Pitchfork named one of the Best Albums of the 2020s So Far, is out now on International Anthem / Nonesuch Records. Like that album, The Way Out of Easy comprises recordings from LA venue ETA, where Parker and the ensemble held a weekly residency for seven years. During that time, the ETA IVtet evolved from a band that played mostly standards into a group known for its transcendent, long-form journeys into innovative, groove-oriented improvised music. All four tracks on The Way Out of Easy come from a single night in 2023, providing an unfiltered view of the ensemble, fully in their element.

    The Staves' new EP Happy New Year, out today, includes three acoustic versions of tracks from their new album, All Now—"I Don't Say It, But I Feel It," "After School," and "All Now"—and a cover of The Beatles' "She's Leaving Home." Also out now: an acoustic performance video for "After School," which the duo calls "a love song to our sister Emily inspired by the bands we were listening to in the '90s. Putting on the rose-tinted glasses and embracing nostalgia."
