The Competition is the anticipated follow-up to Lower Dens’ critically acclaimed 2015 release Escape From Evil.
The title is lead singer and songwriter Jana Hunter’s term for a sociopsychological phenomenon that, in different ways, binds us all. The Competition is a pop album with a concept both emotionally and politically urgent.
Drawing on influences ranging across decades of Western pop music and chronicles messy, vulnerable humanity at a time of upheaval and chaos — through immersive, four-minute songs meant to give pleasure as much as provoke self-examination.
