Let’s start with what Smart Flesh, the Low Anthem’s fourth studio album, is not. the This is not the kind of album you put on to create a little ambience when you’ve got friends over, nor is it the sort of thing you’d reach for if you’re looking to bust a move. It’s not something you’d put on in the background while you’re doing the dishes. It is, however, the kind of album that demands to be listened to, the kind of album you put on when you really want to hearsomething.

If you decide to give Smart Flesh your full attention (and you should), what you’ll hear is an album far more cohesive than Charlie Darwin, one that’s full of echoes, hushed vocals and stripped-down beauty. You’ll be greeted by gorgeous harmonies on “Ghost Woman Blues.” On “Apothecary Love,” you’ll hear a lovely little devil sitting on your shoulder, encouraging you to drown your sorrows with sweet pleas of “Oh darlin’, try this one if you need a friend. I’ve got the cure for the shape that you’re in.” Most importantly, you’ll hear some great stories.
