"A standout on one of the year’s best debuts, 'Doused' is an intricate rock song that manages to sound different from just about anything else out there. With a guitar riff that hauntingly pervades the whole song and vocals that are only partly discernable, DIIV has created a benchmark for their future recordings, a lofty standard that their next songs will be measured against."

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...
I don't know how I feel about Lower Dens' second album Nootropics yet, but I sure know I'm obsessed with this track. Think Beach House meets Electrelane. Love. Lower Dens - Brains
Lower Dens look to explore the fertile valleys of experimental new wave on their second full length release, Nootropics.
To designate the debut Twin-Hand Movement and the follow-up Nootropics suggests, if nothing else, a confidence in full bloom. Named after smart drugs and nutraceuticals aimed at aiding in the enhancement of intelligence, if the title suggests Jana Hunter has furthered hers through forming Lower Dens , growing into its skin and whereby surrounding herself with merchants of harmonies to haunt even the most equilibrated of minds then its contents numbering ten intimate she's furthered functions sonic as well as academic. We've already experienced so-called 'single' Brains [...]
Listen to Lower Dens ' new album "Nootropics" below. Baltimore five-piece Lower Dens will release much-anticipated second album "Nootropics" on May 1st, though with how many tracks they've been putting out there in the run up to its release you probably feel like you've heard most of the album already. "Brains" and "Propagation" lead the pack, with "Brains" also getting one of the best-shot [...]

Having caught Lower Dens at SXSW has done nothing but increase my anxiousness for May 1st to get here when I can finally grasp their new album Nootropics with both hands. " Propagation " is the second early release they have given us, aligning comfortably with the sound we know as defining Lower Dens , much more so than " Brains ," the first release the Baltimore natives gave us a few weeks ago. I can't say with confidence which track [...]
We loved first single “Brains”, but now check out the new hazy roller from Lower Dens called “Propagation”. A very nice contrast to the intensity of the former. Nootropics will be out May 1st.
The first insight into the return of Jana Hunter's Lower Dens , Brains, proved a compulsively addictive listen and one that still commands attention today although now we've Propagation that may change somewhat. At least our impression of forthcoming LP Nootropics (alongside other formats, a rather sumptuous-sounding 'limited edition gold colored double LP with black swirl' is expected April 30th via Domino imprint Ribbon Music ) has been gently expanded... With a more memorable swell of a hook to latch onto than its predecessor, it's a typically sulky number from the Baltimore quartet that's awash with [...]
Lower Dens nos presenta otro adelanto de su nuevo material Nootropics , el segundo álbum de la banda que saldrá el próximo 1 de mayo. “Propagation” es una rola con una vibra bastante más relajada, a diferencia del viaje rítmico de “ Brains ” el primer sencillo deNootropics. Enjoy.

Baltimore's dream rock-outfit Lower Dens (Jana Hunter & Devendra Beinhardt) are set to release their sophomore album Nootropics, via Domino/Ribbon Music on May 1st, 2012. Watch Tristan Patterson’s (Dragonslayer) video for their first single 'Brains' below and download the track for free! Free Download: Lower Dens - Brains: New Video: Lower Dens - Brains
Lower Dens drop a new video for single, “Brains”. Jana Hunter is quite creepy in this self-portrait video, as the aggressive track grows a new grim skin. Nootropics, (which may explain why the video is a bit out there) will be out May 5th, through Ribbon Music. Lower Dens - “Brains”

Just before lunch I like to get some internal movement going on, helps me digest, and the shaky new video from the LOWER DENS is soundtracking me pre-food cardio. This is not a fact. Watching and hence loving the Baltimore dream-rockers new video is essential eating to boost your BRAINS power. Yep.
Lower Dens - “Brains” Nootropics is out 5/1 on Ribbon Music .
