(harmonic) To Ohio by The Low Anthem

The Low Anthem has been all over the place musically, but their 2008/2009 album Oh My God, Charlie Darwin slowed things down to a mellow, relaxing, introspective experience. With this, the harmonica parts popped to the forefront in a hauntingly beautiful way. Below, I posted the quite popular and melancholic To Ohio. the Another song from this album that highlights harmonica beautifully is Home I'll Never Be

Thanks to Jonathan and RocΓ­o for adding this band to my consciousness.

Smile. I



PS: Like the new player? I am psyched is works on Blogger.

    If you're into the indie/folk rock vibe, I would highly recommend M. Ward, Monsters of Folk, She & Him, and Fleet Foxes (although I'm not sure how much they incorporate the harmonica). Monsters of Folk and She & Him are actually both side projects of M. Ward, who is amazing. I think I would love anything he creates. I saw him during an Austin City Limits taping last August and I kind of fell in love. She & Him will actually be in town doing a couple of free shows for SXSW in March, which will be awesome.

    By the way, hope you're feeling better!
