The previous album " Oh my god, Charlie Darwin " came away with the judges not bad. Just at that time found by some judges as an aggravating classified songs no successor to "flesh Smart" . So I'm curious, will turn out like this year's verdict.
A shift in the direction of "Folk" and "American" is obvious. Through this The Low Anthem direct comparison deals with the strong work of predecessors. "Smart flesh" has come very quietly but sometimes compelling reassuring. I found it difficult, not with the Music to wander off into the distance or in the relative calm.
Whiskey Soda sees a strength in this silence:
The fragility of the songs, however, is method and testified once more that the songs are the stronger, the more silent they are arranged.
I'm not a folk fan, but at The Low Anthem which seems so authentic that it influences me to "Smart flesh" do not disturb.
The Los Angeles Times delivers the inevitable comparison to Arcade Fire, is no:
excepting a couple of Arcade Fire-style stompers, "Smart Flesh" is a gorgeous, inventively arranged set of reverb-rich roots ballads # in which the music's frayed edges add emotional weight, not who-cares credibility.
is worth noting the absence of the blues-rock songs that have broken up the previous work. In general, the rock portion was greatly scaled down. Especially in the song "Boeing 737" He is celebrated again. Therefore, "Boeing 737" and the up-and most pleasing track on the album. The rest is so strong Americana / folk-influenced, that he is not much getting used to for American ears, "Charlie Oh my god, Darwin" as. Fans of the previous work to be m. E. does not automatically "flesh Smart" by convincing be. But anyone who decides to quiet the songs that will discover the odd pearl. Folk fans can access on deaf ears.
I needed some time, but now I like the album. On "Oh My God, Charlie Darwin is but not approach.
The "Limited Edition" is enriched by three outtakes, according to the raw but therefore are also nice intimate.
