Lower Dens – “Brains”

Lower Dens
Lower Dens put out one of my favourite albums of 2010, so I’m excited about the prospect of a new album from the dream pop outfit. Go to Exclaim! to read my story about the forthcoming release of Nootropics.

Below is “Brains,” which is a little slow getting going but turns into a lovely, expansive tune.

Deer knives around you

April 27, 2011
Lining up in order of happiness
Lower Dens‘ Two-Hand Movement was one of my favourites from last year, so I’m not quite sure how I missed the fact that the band put out a new single on Record Store Day. Here’s the woozy A-side, “Deer Knives,” an excellent shoegazing cut that’s drenched in jagged guitar fuzz.

Come with me, I need you

September 23, 2010
Wait, we're looking at the camera on this one?
Out of any album I’ve heard this year, Lower Dens‘ Twin-Hand Movement has been the biggest grower. When I first listened to it a few months back, its hazed-out guitar jams struck me as unremarkable, but the subtle hooks and seductive atmosphere got to me in time. Go to Exclaim! to read my review.

Here’s the excellent opening track, “Blue & Silver,” a breezy rocker that’s half fuzz, half jangle. It’s the perfect entry point to Twin-Hand Movement’s dream pop awesomeness.
