Ribbon Music is pleased to release the long-awaited second album from Baltimore's laid back melody surrealists Lower Dens, NOOTROPICS. Well see if the darkly hopeful future forecast in NOOTROPICS comes to pass. Stay tuned. Review: Jana Hunter and her band have created another green world, or maybe it's more gray than anything. I was hooked on their 1st album, "Twin Hand Movement," but find myself addicted to this new platter. The "Brains" EP, released a few months ago, heralded the new work but didn't fully reveal it's dimensions. The song "Brains" is now extended into the following track, "Stem", which completes it. "Nootropics" immaculately gathers together errant strands of 70s ambient and krautrock; the references in the music are obvious that I need not mention them here. Even so, the ownership of this music is Hunter's and her band, a logical extension from their 1st outing. Significantly, the addition of drummer Nate Nelson and keyboardist Carter Tanton, are the well-chosen key ingredients that give Hunter's band this great leap foward -- motorik beats and menacing shadows providing space loose enough to drive a lorry through. Listen to this in the dark. Review: Vocals are one slow syllable at a time. One funeral dirge after another.

Vocals are one slow syllable at a time. One funeral dirge after another.

I bought this CD since I liked one cut in particular and it seemed to get good reviews. There are three songs that I like alot. The rest of the CD is underwhelming but pleasant enough. Actually three good songs is pretty good these days but I would have been better off buying the individual songs.

Jana voice is so haunting. This album is more atmospheric & trippy than the others. I love it though.

Another gem from Lower Dens, moodier than their other albums
