Last week I got a lift back home with some friends. It was a late night 3 hour car ride. Balanced on the right side of drunk I decided to fall into my iPod as conversation slowed to silence. It was my first listen to Twin-Hand Movement, the new album from Lower Dens.
I’d seen the name floating about but the sounds that covered me as I sat, eyes shut in the passenger seat were suffocating. A heavy blanket of Beach House vocals, the darkness of Zola Jesus, the guitar walls of Electrelane. I am completely in love and I don’t even know their names.
I want to tell everyone about this record. I want to talk about it and nothing else. I am getting on everyone’s nerves.
