Lower Dens - Dear Betty Baby

Good news! It's a Soundcloud kind of night and you can totally stream the entire new single from the flawless Lower Dens. So do it, before you cop a 7 inch on January 18th. It comes out from Gnomonsong.

Listen to Lower Dens

MP3: Lower Dens - Blue and Silver

I don't know if you know this, but Lower Dens put out one of the best records this year. I can only hope that people are listening to "Twin-Hand Movement", but it kind of feels like people aren't listening to "Twin-Hand Movement": LISTEN TO "TWIN-HAND MOVEMENT"!!!

Hey there, Lower Dens.

MP3: Lower Dens - Hospice Gates

New Jana Hunter is bliss. Instead of releasing her new songs as a 3rd JH long player, she became a full band called Lower Dens and that material is their debut album "Twin-Hand Movement". It's gonna rule, and it's out July 20th from Gnomonsong. I can't wait.

Joey On Carrion EP:

I think it says a lot when an EP makes a list made up of albums. I do really, really like this one: the Carrion EP is half new songs and half demos from Jana Hunter's previous record "There's No Home": that math leads to something that is allllllll good. The new songs mesh so well with the demos that it becomes it's own entity, completely haunting and entirely intimate. It sounds like someone sitting in a tree, luring you with the sweet sounds of a music box, leaving you to sit in the leaves and become everything around you. Or something.

Believe me, I've been trying to make this post since the Friday before "There's No Home" came out, but the words were impossible to find.

This is not the case for Jana Hunter. She has lots of words, "stories" if you will, that weave themselves about the lp (save for the instrumental and thankfully not entirely pointless "(Guitar)" tracks) that make for a delightful romp. With so many great releases coming out, I still find myself coming back to "There's No Home" to collect my thoughts, sit down and take it in over and over. Never a dull listen and highly recommended.
