THE LOW ANTHEM
@ Gateshead Old
Old Town Hall
August 16th
Tickets £15 advance (see below)


The Low Anthem play the beautiful Town Hall in Gateshead on this one off show August 16th. From its hand silkscreened cover art to its meticulously crafted songs, The Low Anthem offers work meant to be held, savored, contemplated, and occasionally stomped along to.

The Providence, RI, trio’s massively acclaimed debut 'OH My God, CHarlie Darwin' offers a distinctly human touch in an era of instant uploading and ephemeral expression. The mood of Oh My God, Charlie Darwin is melancholic from the start—quiet, intimate, full of longing, and often hauntingly beautiful. In its lyrics, a dog-eat-dog society is nearing collapse and relationships are bruised, broken, or irretrievably lost. Yet in their tenor there is a pencil shaving of hope.

"A fine mix of hymnal purity and barn-storming rock" 4/5 Uncut

"the songs of Oh My God, Charlie Darwin infuse you with familiarity like an embroidered pillow on an old porch that says ‘home sweet home’.
Drowned in Sound 8/10
