The Low Anthem is featured performing "The Mermaid Parade" by Phosphorescent in the latest episode of The Voice Project, a non-profit organization that supports women of war-torn Northern Uganda—widows, rape survivors, and former abductees—who have banded together to support each other and those orphaned by the war and diseases prevalent in camps for Internally Displaced Persons. Watch the video below.
The performance was recorded at Boston's Old South Church moments before The Low Anthem played an unforgettable concert in March, at which the band hit "a high note," said the Boston Globe, with "a galvanizing 90-minute performance that was masterful and even magical at times."

Seattle Weekly, reviewing last night's show at the Triple Door, says: "Both the Low Anthem's live show and new album are impressive but never flashy, and the band doesn't cater to trends or get lost in technology. They are dark without being bleak, but it's their love of folk music and its rusty musical relics that is hardest to shake when the last chord rings out." Read more at seattleweekly.com.
"Half of The Low Anthem's music sounds like it should be performed in a dusty, creaking old church; the other half seems to belong on stage at a rowdy dive bar. Both halves sounded great Monday night," says BlogCritics' Dusty Somers, whose review is published in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "Impeccable musicianship, whether on spare, wispy ballads or harmonica-laden rockers, makes The Low Anthem a live act not to be missed." Read the review at seattlepi.com.
