Lower Dens was an American indie rock / synth pop band hailing from Baltimore, Maryland. Formed in 2010, the band gained recognition for their unique blend of atmospheric soundscapes and catchy melodies. Led by the talented *Jana Hunter*, Lower Dens captivated audiences with their introspective lyrics and mesmerizing performances.

Throughout their career, Lower Dens released a series of critically acclaimed albums, including "Twin-Hand Movement," "Nootropics," and "Escape from Evil." Their music drew inspiration from a variety of genres, seamlessly blending elements of dream pop, post-punk, and electronic music.

With a devoted fan base spanning across the globe, Lower Dens' music resonated with listeners who appreciated their distinct sonic palette. Drawing comparisons to artists such as Wild Nothing, Tamaryn, and Craft Spells among others; Lower Dens carved out a unique space within the indie music scene.

Ribbon Music release Lower Dens third album 'Escape from Evil'. On 'Escape From Evil', Lower Dens' Jana Hunter emerges: cerebral and hot-blooded, rash and incorruptible, and, crucially, possessing of a loud, clear voice. The album sees Hunter stepping up and taking center stage, and emboldening every aspect of the band. 'Escape From Evil' is a cinematic, tonally rich work. The sounds are clean and warm. The pulse of the album is strong. Melodies are potent and songs are physical. Lyrics are direct, frank confrontations with life's common crises. The album title is brazen, and along with the grimly funny title of lead single, 'To Die in L.A.', almost theatrical. Lower Dens' 2010 debut, 'Twin-Hand Movement', was a stunning evolution of guitar brilliance and murky emotiveness, while its 2012 follow-up, 'Nootropics', was a stark, textured paean to experimental bands of the krautrock era. 'Escape From Evil' marks a bold, monumental step forward for the band and the welcome manifestation of a singer we've never quite seen until now.
