The Low Anthem, a folk rock outfit from Providence, Rhode Island, have signed with Washington Square Music in time for theirย fourth studio album dueย this spring.

The band’sย founding membersย Ben Knox Miller and Jeffrey Prystowsky met throughย Brown University’s college radio station and self-produced their threeย studio albumsย before the arrival of other current membersย Florence Grace Wallis and Bryan Minto. It’s been five years since The Low Anthem’s last studio album, Smart Flesh, which was recorded in an abandoned pasta sauce factory in their hometown.

โ€œWe are very excited to work with the Low Anthem,โ€ saidย Washington Square Co-Owner Cliff Chenfeld in a press release. โ€œThey have a unique artistic vision that is inspiring and engaging. We look forward to helping them bring that vision to an appreciative audience.โ€

“We were gazing dreamily at a river when Beth from Washington Square called us back up to the Big Leagues,โ€ said The Low Anthemโ€™sย Jeff Prystowsky. โ€œWe are super psyched to hit the road again with a new work.”

The band joins Washington Square label mates My Jerusalem, MOTHXR, Austin Plaine and Soren Bryce.
