I’m probably the least into the Low Anthem of all the people here on the Dose staff, so I have no idea why it took a blog in another country to alert me to this extremely lovely new stop-motion video for the song “Charlie Darwin”. The video was created by Glenn Z Taunton and Simon Taffe.
I think I like the song, especially towards the end, though at first it struck me as overly precious. Still, I like what other stuff I’ve heard from the local trio, and I’m definitely a fan of their live show, so repeated listens/colder weather/whiskey might soon convince me of its awesomeness.

they played this video at the show at the avon, singing live over it. it was eerie, and strangely moving. excellent work.

I’m so glad you found this and put it up. I couldn’t find it the day after the Avon show when i was trying to write about it. That night I got a lump in my throat … it was soooo sad and sweet. I wonder if they were able to show the video and sing along like that at the other stops on their tour. It was really special.
