Lower Dens - "Propagation"

The Jana Hunter fronted quartet, Lower Dens, are back to give Beach House a run for their money as Baltimore's best atmospheric dream-rock band. The first Lower Dens record, Twin Hand Movement, was one of the best of 2010. The follow-up to that record, Nootropics, is due out May 1st, and so far it is sounding like a record we all need to get excited about. We had our first taste of Nootropics back in January, with the excellent kraut-rock inspired chug-a-long, "Brains." And now we have single number two, "Propagation" -- a gorgeous, lingering ditty built upon a simple bass line, ghostly vocals, and chiming guitars and synths. It's another Lower Dens goody. Give it a listen below below. And check out the video for "Brains" after the jump.
