The Low Anthem's headlining tour of North America brings the quartet back to the States and straight to New York City after two shows in Canada. While up north, the band played in venues hospitable to what Uncut called its "hymnal purity" side, performing at Toronto's Church of the Redeemer and the Église du Gesù's Centre de créativité in Montreal. Now back in the US, the band plays to its rock roots as well with a set at New York's Bowery Ballroom tonight.

Time Out New York includes tonight's show, with Timber Timbre and The Woes opening, as a Must-See Show, describing the band as "transporting neofolk."

New York's NPR station WNYC posts tonight's show as its Gig Alert, offering a free download of the track "Charlie Darwin" off the band's Nonesuch debut, Oh My God, Charlie Darwin. WNYC's Alana Harper says the band members "turn out warm folk that's well-steeped in contemplation," not least on this "stirring" track. Read more at culture.wnyc.org. You can also watch the video for the song at nonesuch.com/media and pick up a copy of the new "Charlie Darwin" vinyl 7" single in the Nonesuch Store.

In a recent interview with the band, the Aquarian Weekly's John Fortunato describes Oh My God, Charlie Darwin as "an ambitious achievement reliant on plaintive country folk restraint and countered perfectly by feverish roadhouse Blues." Fortunato talks with band front man Ben Knox Miller about the musical and lyrical influences that went in to the making of the band's breakthrough record. You'll find it at theaquarian.com.

Miller spoke with Paste magazine about its forthcoming follow-up to OMGCD and the excitement of working with Bright Eyes producer Mike Mogis in mixing the new album. In the article, Miller reveals that, even with the upcoming record's having been recorded in the vast space of a former pasta sauce factory, there's a considerable intimacy that comes through. "There are certain moments on the record that really feel like vulnerable moments to me, which is something I’m not used to putting in songwriting," he tells Paste. “There’s a strange directness that crept out somehow.” Read more at pastemagazine.com.

    American Railroad, the new album from the Silkroad Ensemble with Rhiannon Giddens, is out now. It is the culmination of four years of research, collaboration, and music-making, having brought Silkroad artists all across the US to uncover and uplift stories of those who built the transcontinental railroad and connecting railways across North America. "The result is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and music that have shaped our multifaceted cultural identity, and that must be heard and recognized," Giddens says. Also out now are a performance video of the track "Mahk Jchi" and the first episode of the American Railroad podcast series. The US fall tour continues to November 23.
