Oh My God, Charlie Darwin is a studio album by American indie folk band The Low Anthem, originally released in 2008, and re-released on June 29, 2009 on Bella Union. Ben Knox Miller states that "listening to the record is akin to taking shelter during a lightning storm among nostalgic remnants in a water-damaged church, whose new tenants – rats, owls, stray dogs and snakes – comprise a burgeoning, cacophonous, dog-eat-dog ecosystem."[8]
