Our Take

The Salt Doll Went To Measure The Depths Of The Sea, the latest offering from indie-folk darlings The Low Anthem, is a whimsical journey through the whimsical world of salt dolls and sea depths. This album sees the band taking a departure from their usual sound, diving headfirst into experimental territory with surprising results.

From the haunting beauty of the opening track "Bone of Song" to the intricate layers of "The Krill Whales March," each song on this album is a carefully crafted masterpiece. The band's use of unconventional instrumentation, including saws, wine glasses, and even a whale bone xylophone, creates a unique sound that is both mesmerizing and otherworldly.

Lead singer Ben Knox Miller's ethereal vocals soar over a backdrop of swirling melodies and atmospheric soundscapes, creating a sense of mystery and wonder that draws the listener in from the very first note. Standout tracks like "Toowee Toowee" and "The Earth Picture" showcase the band's ability to create music that is both complex and accessible, blending folk, rock, and psychedelic influences into a cohesive and truly original sound.

Overall, The Salt Doll Went To Measure The Depths Of The Sea is a captivating and enchanting album that showcases The Low Anthem at the height of their creativity. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to the band's music, this album is sure to leave you spellbound and eager for more. Dive in and let the magic wash over you.
