"So I don't know if it will be fun for you or not but you're welcome to come closer..." Jana Hunter 's Baltimore-based indie rockers made their maiden bow in Cork with a high-octane performance on a drizzly Sunday night in The Half Moon . Setlist 01. I Get Nervous ( Twin-Hand Movement ) 02. Candy ( Nootropics ) 03. Batman ( [...]
Este es el típico grupo al que al principio no haces el caso que deberías, cuando alguien te los descubre, simple y llanamente por que estás a otras cosas. Y de pronto, un día, probablemente mientras estás trabajando, te saltan estos tales Lower Dens en el iTunes, justo detrás de la última pista de Low. Y te acuerdas de que P. te los recomendó, y tratas de concentrarte en el trabajo, pero hey, esto no está nada mal, y entonces es cuando empiezas a prestarles la atención que se merecen. Oriundos de Baltimore, Lower Dens es una de [...]
It's December, which means the music industry's listomania is now in full swing. But wait, if on the off chance you haven't written your own personal end-of-year list, then have a quick look at this one before you start anointing one of the usual suspects — Grimes, Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar, Swans, Fiona Apple, etc. — as the best of 2012. We love all those records, but there are a heap of great albums released in 2012 that we think haven't gotten anywhere near the amount of end-of-year love they deserve. We profiled some of them in [...]
![[120 - 106] Los 150 Tracks de 2012](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4669369_lg.jpg)
Les ha pasado que después de haber tenido un encuentro que les sube el animo, se topan con un billete de 200 pesos a la salida del metro, y justo cuando piensan que nada podía salir mejor, se dan cuenta de que es falso? Bueno, pues digamos que algo así le paso a Alguien cuya identidad no voy a revelar en este momento, pero es quien se ha estado encargando de compartirles 15 canciones diarias dentro de un conteo que rescata algunos de los mejores tracks que aparecieron en el año. Ese sentimiento de frustración también se hizo presente a [...]
L'occasion était plutôt anodine. Lower Dens est déjà venu à Paris deux fois cette année, il n'y avait donc aucune raison de rajouter cette troisième date, visiblement calée pour amortir leur passage en Europe pour d'autres festivals. Entre ça et l'annulation de la première partie, le Nouveau Casino se remplit très peu et c'est tant mieux : il en résulte une atmosphère résolument intimiste, limite Black Session, un contexte idéal pour dérouler toute la magie sournoise du groupe américain. Il aura fallu du temps à Nootropics , sorti cette année, pour révéler ses charmes et sa singularité. [...]
Lower Dens @ Chicago's the Riv, 10/1/2012 ( more by Grant McAllister ) Baltimore's Lower Dens went into new, motorik directions on their second album, Nootropics so it makes sense that tracks from the record might work well in the remix world. Hence, the Nootropics Remixed EP which takes three cuts off the album and puts them into the hands of Trentemøller, Cex, and Steve Moore. You can stream Trentemøller's excellent recrafting of Nootropics standout cut "Brains" below. You can [...]
I've been looking at & admiring plenty of end of year lists. Alan at Bitzl R in particular did a stellar job of tying up each of 2012's quarters with superb playlists. I was part of PORTALS ' yearly round-ups where my own writing paled in comparison to others more enthusiastic than myself. And in the most recent DIY Magazine we crowned a rightful winner in Liars for album of the year. I actually hadn't planned on doing any end of year stuff on MFM. I'm just a little low on food, pumped [...]
Later, 2012! It's been a nice year. We launched this little site, DJ'd at SXSW and elsewhere, presented some shows, and drew inspiration from so many sounds around the world. Before we unveil our favorite albums of 2012 tomorrow, we begin ... Continue reading
Lower Dens - Half Moon, Sunday 'Tis getting cold but the gigs continue to be mighty warm... Vocalist Jana Hunter 's Baltimore indie babies Lower Dens are the big international draw this week as The Half Moon continues her strong Winter listings. That's taking place on Sunday night with tickets still available at €15 a pop. The last KC Session [...]
Lower Dens ' Nootropics is certainly one of the more forward-thinking albums that was released in 2012 – both musically and for its icy sense of propulsive dread. And now, as is customary, the record is getting a remix collection ( Nootropics Remixed ). Here's the Trentemøller take on album-highlight "Brains" – an effort which flips the original's paranoid Krautrock into a pushy, spaced-out sonic helicopter.
Lower Dens nous a offert en 2012 un album de très bonne facture, mais dont nous n'avions malheureusement pas beaucoup parlé ici. La noirceur de Nootropics contrastait clairement avec le côté un peu plus pop de Twin-Hand Movement. On avait découvert ce groupe originaire de Brooklyn en première partie de Beach House à Londres il y a quelques années et nous nous étions bien dit alors, qu'il serait nécessaire de garder un oeil sur ce groupe. Quoiqu'il en soit, il n'est pas trop tard pour vous jeter sur Nootropics . Et surtout, surtout [...]

Earlier this year, the Baltimore band Lower Dens released their very good, krautrock-skewing sophomore album Nootropics , and my daughter still can't fall asleep without listening to it. On the new three-song EP Nootropics Remixed , the Danish dance producer Trentemøller reworks first single " Brains ," keeping the central pulse and the Jana Hunter vocal intact but carefully coloring around the edges with splasy synth sounds. Listen to it below. Read More...

stealing sheep hatten uns enthusiastisch enlassen, siehe teil 2 . das on3 festival 2012 fand einen gloriosen einstieg. was sollte da schon im verlaufe passieren können? unbill! indem wir nämlich zu spät die richtige entscheidung trafen, landeten wir in schlangen, in denen sich nichts bewegte, also eher in haufen menschen, deren ungeduld bald bände füllen sollte. einige wollten ihr geld, andere holten sich die jacken von der garderobe zurück. wir suchten alternativen. denn das the dope konzert wurde zu einer geschlossenen veranstaltung, die nachfolgende fenster- veranstaltung eh. also entschieden wir uns für das studio 2 und behielten uns vor, [...]

LOWER DENS Nouveau Casino (Paris) le 27 novembre 2012 par Guillaume Foresti Le Nouveau Casino est au trois quart vide. La première partie est annulée, et pas remplacée. Nous attendons. La salle se remplit doucement. À 20h30, Jana Hunter et ses amis pénètrent sur scène très discrètement. Le dispositif est différent du Point FMR en mai dernier : Jana n’est plus au centre cachée derrière [...]
Every year has its turkey albums. Once a year, we take the opportunity to put them out of their misery. It's the 2012 Turkey Shoot! This is an idea I've stolen from the fantastic Chicago Public Radio program Sound Opinions. Once a year, Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot get together to take [...]
