The Low Anthem's forthcoming album, Smart Flesh, is still a couple of months away from its February 22 Nonesuch release, but fans have been listening to the album track "Ghost Woman Blues" all week, thanks to the free download of the song that's available here. Now it's time to see where all that beautiful music was made in a new video for "Ghost Woman Blues" set in the abandoned pasta sauce factory in which the album was recorded. You can watch the video, produced by filmmaker Robert Houllahan with the band, via The Low Anthem YouTube channel.
The "Ghost Woman Blues" video was premiered earlier today on NPR's All Songs Considered blog. "The Low Anthem's album, Oh My God, Charlie Darwin, was a stunningly beautiful record," says All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen. "On Feb. 22, The Low Anthem will release Smart Flesh, which it recorded in an abandoned pasta-sauce factory in Central Falls, R.I. It's the atmosphere of this abandoned warehouse, captured by Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes), that gives it a uniquely open sound."
Boilen spoke with Houllahan about the making of the video and the specific camera and film choices he made to achieve its particular look and feel in step with the band's music. Read more of what Boilen has to say and get all the details from Houllahan at npr.org.
