The Low Anthem is keeping it all in the Nonesuch family this weekend, as they conclude their tour with label mates Carolina Chocolate Drops at the Neighborhood Theatre in Charlotte, North Carolina, tonight, then head on to Nashville to join Emmylou Harris in two sets at the storied Ryman Auditorium Saturday night at 7 PM EST and 9:30 PM for their Grand Ole Opry debut.

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.

And without further ado, the video for "Ghost Woman Blues," off Smart Flesh:

    The 27-disc box set Steve Reich Collected Works is out now on Nonesuch. It features music recorded during the composer's 40 years on the label—six decades of his compositions, including first recordings of his two latest works, Jacob’s Ladder and Traveler’s Prayer (both also available to stream/download today)—plus two extensive booklets with new essays by Robert Hurwitz, Michael Tilson Thomas, Russell Hartenberger, Judith Sherman, and Nico Muhly, and a comprehensive listener’s guide by Timo Andres. Nonesuch made its first record with Steve Reich in 1985; he was signed exclusively to the label that year. Collected Works includes 24 discs of Nonesuch recordings and three from other labels. You can watch an unboxing video narrated by the composer here.

    Cinematic electro-pop duo Ringdown, featuring Danni Lee Parpan and Pulitzer and Grammy winner Caroline Shaw, will release its debut album, Lady on the Bike, May 9. The album celebrates the feeling of possibility in myriad forms: the possibility of love; the possibility of creating connection and community in a world trying to pull those things apart; the possibility of making music in new ways. Ringdown will create additional custom sleeves for the first 50 Nonesuch Store vinyl orders. The duo will perform with Sō Percussion and in its own headlining shows this spring and summer.
