Artist: Lower Dens

This is, by far, the weirdest and most-freaky team-building field trip I've ever seen, and I've seen a few! The dude/chick with the nose is especially frightening, and that creepy face-tracking business is creepy, much like captain obvious is less than subtle.  "Candy" is the latest video to be taken from Lower Dens 's breathtaking new album Nootropics , out now, and very much worth your time.

Lower Dens opened the fourth show of the 2012 Twilight Concert Series promoting their sophomore album Nootropics . For a front woman, Hunter sure did like to hide behind her instruments on the outskirts of the stage, and opted for the other three members to share the spotlight. New songs like "Candy" and "Brains" drew those who arrived early in closer to the stage. It was "In the End is the Beginning" that really showcased band's talented individuals. This 15 minute build up of murky and dark passion from the minds' of Lower Dens set the tone as the [...]

 I've been swithering on this one for a while now, not quite sure either what I make of the album or how to phrase it. In short, I don't think this is particularly good, honestly, although I do respect a band which evolves, as Lower Dens have clearly done with Nootropics . I have come to know Lower Dens on a descending scale of sonic aggression.  First I saw them at Sneaky Pete's, and they were a cacophonous guitar band.  I bought the album, and found that to be a rather more cagey affair; stylish and oblique [...]

Band of Horses has steadily gained recognition locally since their first show in SLC in the spring of 2006. The brought down the house at Kilby Court playing "The Great Salt Lake", and with their next visit four years later, they opened with the song named after the same lake as our city for a sold out crowd. Last week's TCS brought in over 20k people, and in anticipation of the band's third show here, we've already seen Band of Horses tickets at the top of the chart for online presale tickets for over a month. Salt Lake is ready [...]

Baltimore natives Lower Dens graced the Marina stage at XPoNential Festival this afternoon. The band brought their synthy shoegaze vibes to XPo, which mellowed out the mood at the festival this afternoon. The quintet played a mix of chill tunes from their 1st release, 20102s Twin Hand Movement, and their latest album, Nootropics, which came ... Continue reading �

I think Sean and I would both agree that Day 3 of Louisville, Kentucky's Forecastle Music Festival might have been our favorite.  Not only because it boasted the most musical acts of any day, but also because it was a day full of surprises and fulfilled expectations from some of our favorite bands.  Walk The Moon, Charles Bradley & [...]

No summer storm could quash the fervor that accompanies Pitchfork Music Festival . While the crowd did at times seem abnormally small compared to recent years (especially on Friday), the anticipation running through those who dared to brave the thunderclaps on their bikes on day one, or those who braved crowded CTA busses on day two, or those who hitched a ride in from the suburbs on day three didn't dip a bit. Thanks to the chilly pulses of wind and rain, there were some new fashion trends to add onto your typical face-painted nuts in swimsuits [...]

They say that if you lose a sense, your other senses get stronger. For example, if you're blind, the story goes that you hear better than most people. It seemed apropos, then, that your intrepid reporting team here at  Consequence of Sound ended up sharing our hotel for Louisville, Kentucky’s Forecastle Music Festival with an entire convention of blind people: They spend their lives listening hard, and though we’re able to see, we also put a lot of focus on the aural—especially this weekend. Luckily Forecastle is focused on sound as well, and for their [...]

My favorite sets at the first day of Pitchfork Music Festival Friday were by  Dirty Projectors and Willis Earl Beal . I had a feeling that Dirty Projectors' new songs would sound really good live. I wasn't sure what to expect from Beal, who is sort of a soul, blues, gospel, indie kind of guy. He's not that easy to define - kind of like Tom Waits . But he's a captivating performer and his songs are powerful. I liked sets by Lower [...]
