New music: The Low Anthem - Ghost Woman Blues

The Low Anthem's Smart Flesh is high on my list of most anticipated albums of 2011.  Oh My God, Charlie Darwin was probably my favorite album of 2008 (pre-Nonesuch rerelease), and from there I discovered What The Crow Brings Home, another near-perfect album of simple folk songs.  The band has yet to release a bad song, and that trend continues with "Ghost Woman Blues", the first track off of Smart Flesh.  The song may sound familiar from live shows over the past year, but the album version adds stately piano chords to compliment Ben Knox Miller's pure vocals. 

The Low Anthem also have a string of tour dates scheduled to support Smart Flesh, including a few of local shows.  The band will play the gorgeous Old South Church in Boston on March 4th - a somewhat ironic yet perfect venue for the band.  They will also be at Mass MoCa in North Adams on March 5 and Portland's SPACE Gallery on March 7.  Presale tickets available through thelowanthem.com starting Monday.
