Lower Dens
Escape from Evil
[Ribbon Music]
Having seen singer Jana Hunter perform solo and with Lower Dens (which she fronts) supporting Beach House and Deerhunter respectively, it seems appropriate to use those bands as reference points. Escape from Evil completes a neat equilateral triangle in between those bands’ Bloom and Microcastle LPs, sharing an ability to shrewdly manage and manipulate the open sonic spaces above a consistently propulsive, Krautrock-inspired rhythmic base.
