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.

The fourth album from Lower Dens, The Competition is a pop album with a concept both emotionally and politically urgent, dealing with modern capitalism and its psychotic effects. Its 11 songs range in scope from the personal to the political, but overall express an epiphany: you need radical and unquestioning compassion for yourself if you’re to reimagine what society could be.
