Lower Dens - Nootropics download mp3 album
In the case of Baltimore's Lower Dens, who are fronted by onetime folk eccentric Jana Hunter, that track was "Brains". Nootropics strengthens that argument, building on the promise of "Brains" and vastly widening the band's sonic palette.

Nootropics Tracklist. 1. Alphabet Song Lyrics.
Despite the inescapable eeriness and portentous nature of the album, Nootropics is not a completely bleak affair.
Nootropics is the second album released by Baltimore indie rock band Lower Dens. It was released April 30, 2012 on the Domino Recording Company’s Ribbon Music label, the band’s first album on that label, its debut Twin-Hand Movement being released on Gnomonsong. Nootropics was recorded at the Key Club Recording Company in Benton Harbor, Michigan
For an album that is named after memory enhancing drugs, the latest Lower Dens album, at first listen, may come off more so a narcotic than a nootropic. Packed with atmospheric guitars, trance-inducing synths and reverb soaked vocals, the Baltimore outfits kraut-inspired motif can easily put a casual listener into a sleepy state.
This album has an average beat per minute of 141 BPM (slowest/fastest tempos: 110/192 BPM). See its BPM profile at the bottom of the page. Tracklist Nootropics.
