Lower Dens have released a new single titled Batman. The single includes the gorgeous title track as well as a cover by Mayo Thompson, “Dear Betty Baby.” Both tracks are great, but I just can’t stop listening to “Batman.” It’s soars with guitar jangle and is just straight up lovely. The single will be available […]

Neither brothers nor sisters, this Brooklyn duo creates rollicking, lazy-boned laments about days gone by. Once opener “The Curse” rattles to attention with rickety alternative-era guitars and youthful drum pats, the peg is as dead on as their Death By Audio ancestry. Core members of the collective that fostered a Brooklyn venue, effects pedal creations […]
