The Low Anthem, whose latest album, Smart Flesh, was released yesterday on Nonesuch, launches a brief winter tour at the Sixth and I Synagogue in Washington, DC, tomorrow night. NPR's All Songs Considered will be there, broadcasting the concert live online. Tune in to npr.org, starting at 9:30 PM ET.

The band will be back in the States this spring, following a tour of Europe, for support slots with Iron & Wine and a slew of newly-confirmed headlining dates, including a special show at the Pasta Sauce Factory in Central Falls, Rhode Island, where they recorded most of their stunning new album. See below for tour dates.

The New York Times recently caught up with the band at the pasta sauce factory for an Arts & Leisure feature that ran this past Sunday. Writer David Carr described the album as “sticky and gorgeous” and said “it is full of hisses and noises framing close harmonies and spare, idiosyncratic instrumentation, with a pervasive sense of elegy.”

The Times also debuted the video for the rocking album track "Boeing 737," which goes inside the space the New York Times describes as "one of the instruments" on the album. The BBC said the song "is a huge, stomping anthem that sounds like Bob Dylan fronting Arcade Fire." You can watch the video here, via the Nonesuch Records YouTube channel. You can also watch it at nonesuch.com/media:


This week's release of Smart Flesh has been met with extensive critical praise. In a four-star Rolling Stone review, David Fricke said “it's as if the Band stripped their prairie-gothic majesty down to Tom Waits' early barfly essentials." USA Today described the album as “superb," and the Los Angeles Times called it "a gorgeous, inventively arranged set of reverb-rich roots ballads."

Most recently, American Songwriter gives the album four stars. HitFix says the album "demands your full attention by gently lulling you in, making you want to lean into the music, instead of yelling at you to do so. Your efforts will be well rewarded." Read more at hitfix.com. The Republican, out of Western Massachusetts, calls it "Very, very intelligent music, played to perfection."

Below are the currently scheduled Low Anthem tour dates in North America. For more information, including the band's European tour dates and ticket links, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.
