The Low Anthem recently performed a session for Crawdaddy! at the magazine's headquarters in San Francisco, featuring songs from their latest Nonesuch release, Smart Flesh—"Matter of Time," "Burn," and "Love and Altar"—at the end of which, band members Ben Knox Miller and Jeff Prystowsky sat down for an interview. You can watch their performances below.

"There’s a reason why Low Anthem is getting a lot of buzz these days," writes Crawdaddy!'s Angela Zimmerman. "With their classically imbued folk music strummed up from the tranquil town of Providence, Rhode Island, the group brings to their live sound a rich and bucolic offering, with roots firmly entrenched in the time-honored tradition of laborious songcrafting ... Low Anthem’s vintage sensibility is lifted by pristine vocals and a collaborative energy among them that draws from their respective strengths."
