The Low Anthem w/Haley Heynderickx
The Back Room at Colectivo 2211 N. Prospect Ave., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202
The Low Anthem’s new LP The Salt Doll Went To Measure The Depth Of The Sea is a John Cage-influenced concept record. A beautiful, elegiac and largely acoustic – though peppered with subtle yet immersive electronics and humming ambience – album of twelve tracks that barely stretch past the two-minute mark. Recalling the more progressive moments of artists such as Sufjan Stevens and Lambchop, it’s a record of a deep richness, loaded with extreme subtleties and with a space and delicacy counter to the group’s previous dense and complex album.
It finds the Low Anthem of today a vastly different band from the one that emerged 10 years ago with their debut. One that has experienced more ups and downs that many would manage in an entire career but also one that now feels settled in their skin and only interested in venturing toward the horizon instead of re-treading old ground.
Tickets $15.50 in advance.
