just to be clear this is the song "charlie darwin", not to be confused with the song "OMG,CD" on the same album.
The thematic similarities between The Low Anthem's, "Charlie Darwin", and Shearwater's album, The Golden Archipelago, are just too substantial to leave it alone. Evolution, decay, and the interplay of mankind and the natural world are all center-stage in this disarming stop-motion animated video to "Charlie Darwin".
Neither as sonically epic nor as obtuse lyrically as Meiburg's work, "Charlie Darwin" inverts that approach with equally fantastic results. Ben Knox Miller delivers a pretty direct assessment of our lot in this world of science and history in a sublimely reedy falsetto alongside his usual, painstakingly-crafted, dirge-like compositions. In other words, to tell the same story, Meiburg lets his Shearwater soar, and Miller brings his Anthems in nice and low.
