Lower Dens aus Baltimore kündigen auf Mai ihr zweites Album "Nootropics" an. Die Vorfreude bleibt relativ verhalten, zu blutleer kommt die Vorab-Single daher. Im Sommer 2010 veröffentlichten Lower Dens ein Debüt-Album, das von uns sogleich zur Platte der Woche erkoren wurde. Begleitet von ihren Bandkollegen strolchte Jana Hunter auf "Twin-Hand Movement" seltsam zielstrebig durch hypnotische Landschaften, die am Wegrand viel zu bieten hatten. Und auch mit eineinhalb Jahren auf dem Buckel hat das Album nichts von seiner rauchigen Note mit sanftem Abgang eingebüsst. [...]

Lower Dens – "Brains" Jana Hunter of Baltimore band Lower Dens has consistently been releasing some of my favorite music for the past 7 years, from two solo albums ( Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom , and There's No Home ) to Lower Dens' 2010 debut LP Twin-Hand Movement and their fantastic 2011 single Batman (one of my favorite songs of 2011 ). Lower Dens have just announced a new record, [...]

While the above artwork accompanying the below stream of Lower Dens' forthcoming single Brains may suggest a seismic shift in the Baltimore outfit's general interests and genuine intentions (a veer towards stadium-shaped arenas of the hopelessly soulless perhaps), any such trepidation is soon allayed as Jana Hunter's inimitably comforting baritone soothes through the core of five rock-solid minutes. Perhaps more abstract than the material encased within beauteous debut full-length Twin-Hand Movement (transhumanism now apparently accounts for a paramount influence), they remain as dynamic, diligent, and serenely efficient as ever, Nate Nelson's clicking hi-hats propelling vague washes of slackened [...]

Geluid: Lower Dens - Brains // Jana Hunter ist züruck en ze heeft een drummachine bij (zo klinkt het althans)! Ze liet trouwens weten dat Brains een vooruitgestuurd agent is van een nieuw album. Wat u nu in de verte hoort is gejuich op de redactiebanken.

New great song by Jana Hunter's Lower Dens - their new record will be out sometime in spring via Ribbon Music . mp3 | Brains
There's energy and earnestness flowing through each one of Junk Culture's tracks. Deepak Mantena, the one-man show behind JC, finds his muse by finding sound in everyday settings, or in grabbing a snippet of beats and melodies when they strike him. He has done so in the past with his own handheld recorder, a la [...]

Junk Culture - Hang Roxy (feat. Jana Hunter) ( mp3 )
What's that sound? It's the sound of me quickly rolling down my car window and twisting the volume knob on the stereo as far as it will go to the right. Another Junk Culture creation... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]

Of all the bands playing at Chaos in Tejas , this is one that I recommend for pretty much everyone, not just those that are looking for punk rock goodness. Lower Dens features Austin's own Jana Hunter, and a solid backing band. It'd be easy to focus on Hunter's vocals as something beautiful to focus on this Friday at Emos , but the band is so much more than just that. There's this dense sound filled with guitars, often a bit fuzzy, and minimal drumming; it's like if [...]
Lower Dens play " Deer Knives " and " Tea Lights " in Austin, TX, for La Blogotheque 's Take Away Show .

March 31, 2011 Deerhunter and Lower Dens are both bands that made significant breakthroughs last year, though they find themselves at quite different stages of their career. Deerhunter have been steadily building a following in the UK since they first emerged properly online with their phenomenal second record Cryptograms and its accompanying EP Fluorescent Grey . 2010's Halcyon Digest funnelled their less abrasive tendencies into their most reflective, musically adventurous and accessible LP yet. Lower Dens, meanwhile, impressed with their atmospheric debut Twin Hand Movement , skilfully [...]

Lower Dens- Suberb Baltimore Quartet featuring Jana Hunter that came around in 2009. Their newish album Twin Hand Movement was meant to do little more than please the ears, heart, and mind. Favorite song as of now is "Truss Me" the crooning, Sparklehorse (RIP) meets Portishead ballad meant for an indie movie's slow dance scene. [...]
Some sort of weird - and frankly, kind of creepy - "commercial" for Lower Dens ' new Batman 73 that we posted earlier this week . Somebody give Jana Hunter a cooking show immediately: _________ Lower Dens - "Batman"
![[Listen] – Two New Songs By Lower Dens – "Batman" & "Dear Betty Baby"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3114650_lg.jpg)
Photo: Angel Ceballos Despite the fact that they released their debut album, "Twin-Hand Movement", just a mere sixth months ago, Baltimore band Lower Dens, do not seem to be showing any signs of slowing down any time soon. The band will be releasing a new 7" on January 18th on Gnomonsong. The A-Side, "Batman", is a gorgeous little tune that could fit perfectly on "Twin-Hand Movement". It features frontwoman Jana Hunter's ethereal and beautifully-haunting vocals as well as a slugging bassline and thumping drums. In classic Lower Dens fashion, there is also an extreme amount of [...]

Lower Dens - Batman Lower Dens - Dear Betty Baby Good news! It's a Soundcloud kind of night and you can totally stream the entire new single from the flawless Lower Dens . So do it, before you cop a 7 inch on January 18th. It comes out from Gnomonsong .

Hmm... ale co to był za koncert to ja Wam teraz nie powiem. Wiem, że w Barcelonie i wiem, że w [2], cóż, wielka mi podpowiedź. No nic, w każdym razie przyszliśmy tam i po wymianie uprzejmości ze zluzowaną jak zawsze ochroną mieliśmy wchodzić, a tu pojawia się Jana Hunter i chce ognia, więc co było robić - dałem i sam wyciągnąłem pogniecionego marlbora. Popaliliśmy i poszliśmy - ona na, ja pod scenę. Pamiętam, że chciałem potem przekuć to wspomnienie w jakiś lans light, ale koncert Jany był jedynie poprawny, a gwiazda chyba wspaniała, potem pewnie jakieś zgrywanie bootlegu, jakaś [...]

If 2009 was the year of Larry Jon Wilson, 2010 was the year of Bill Fox and the Gibson Bros. I think I listened to Bill Fox's two reissued albums - Shelter from the Smoke and Transit Byzantium - more than anything else. ( Shelter got a deluxe vinyl reissue, and Scat promises a similar treatment for Transit in 2011.) Go get 'em . And working on a story about the Gibson Bros. reunion show back in July occupied my brainspace and held my interest for months. I [...]
