I first wrote about Lower Dens back in 2010 when I completely fell in love with their debut record. It slowly became one of my favourites of the year and when I finally saw the band play live, everything fell in to place.
Live, they flood and engulf the room with those same layers of dark and brooding guitars and heartbreak. And now they’re back with a new track and an album to follow.
Nootropics is out on April 30th via new Domino imprint Ribbon Music, while you can download Brains below. Driving to the point of metronomic, it’s well worth falling in love again.
