Lower Dens - Nootropics album flac

Nootropics strengthens that argument, building on the promise of "Brains" and vastly widening the band's sonic palette. Richly detailed, dark, and ethereal, the album is a feast for sound-first listeners drawn to expressive shifts in color and tone. A moody nighttime listen, ideal for a 2 . drive home by yourself or a late-night glass of whisky.

Nootropics is the second album released by Baltimore indie rock band Lower Dens. It was released April 30, 2012 on the Domino Recording Company’s Ribbon Music label, the band’s first album on that label, its debut Twin-Hand Movement being released on Gnomonsong. Nootropics was recorded at the Key Club Recording Company in Benton Harbor, Michigan. It was produced by Drew Brown, an engineer who had assisted Nigel Godrich on several projects.

Listen free to Lower Dens – Nootropics (Alphabet Song, Brains and more). Lower Dens’ first album, 2010’s Twin-Hand Movement, was such a spectral introduction to the band that it bothered fewer ears over here than a warm breeze in July.

Lower Dens hail from Baltimore, home of indie standouts Beach House, as well as Wye Oak and Future Islands. There seems to be a "scene" developing there, though the bands could not be less concerned about that. But I hope Nootropics helps Lower Dens gain a larger audience. One person found this helpful.
