The Low Anthem

A sort of twee folk band in the grand hipster tradition these days, The Low Anthem mines folklore and old-time music to come up with interesting subject material and unique instrumentation. This is a pretty accessible piece from their canon, perfect as a sweet song to throw in near the end of a mix to let that special someone know you're not made of stone.



Oh, ok my bad you're pretty hip and probably heard that one. How about this one? Sally, Where'd You Get Your Liquor From is an old blues tune that has been done by more than one folk unit over the years, but the instrumentation on this version is unique, at least as far as I know.



I put this one on a mix last month, but in retrospect it might have been a bit too long and slow to really fit. It is a bit of a droner, probably best just before you pick the pace back up.
