Rhode Island’s finest folk tinged Americana four piece The Low Anthem released their third full-length album Smart Flesh via Bella Union earlier this year and now as we find ourselves with the Christmas season looming, the band have announced details of a very special record.
A limited edition Black Friday Record Store Day 10” will be available exclusively in Rough Trade from 25 November (pre-order here) and will include three out takes from the Smart Flesh recording sessions and the track ‘To Ohio’ which was recorded with Emmylou Harris.
The tracklisting is as follows:
Side A
1. Roses in a Mist v.1 (working title) *
2. Old Cedar Tree
Side B
1. Roses in a Mist v.2 (working title) ~
2. To Ohio (For and with Emmylou Harris!)
*This song has previously been called The Snake and the Lightning Rod’
~ This song has previously been called ‘Glitter’
The band also have a headline London show to look forward to and we thought why not sweeten your bitter wintry evenings with a little prize bundle? So not only are we giving away a pair tickets to see The Low Anthem at The Roundhouse on 16 November, we will give the lucky winner a copy of the forthcoming Smart Flesh Extras 10”.
All you have to do to win is tell us via Twitter or by commenting below via Facebook which of their songs is your favourite. The winner will be notified on Monday.
