Since their third self-released album, 2008’s Oh My God, Charlie Darwin, was reissued by leading US indie label Nonesuch, Rhode Island trio The Low Anthem have won a slew of critical plaudits for their artfully literate blend of homespun Americana and raw minimalist rock. Playing nearly 30 instruments between them – including zither, pump organ, Tibetan singing bowl, trumpet, banjo and clarinet – they forge an intriguingly fresh yet timeless sound from such classic influences as Dylan, Neil Young and Tom Waits.

Variously likened to Nick Drake, James Taylor and Bon Iver, Fraser Anderson’s bittersweet voice and subtly crafted, heart-tugging songs have been hailed as “truly beautiful” by Radio 2’s Bob Harris. Currently based in south-west France, the Edinburgh-born singer-songwriter is due to release his third album, 151, in January 2010.
