NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert: Lower Dens

The music of Lower Dens is dark but spacious and hypnotic, with swaths of feedback and echoing guitars. At the heart is Jana Hunter, a Texas-born, Baltimore-based singer and songwriter whose delicate voice haunts every song. Watch the band perform its blissed-out songs in an intimate set at the NPR Music offices.

Set List:
"Two Cocks Waving Wildly At Each Other Across A Vast Open Space, A Dark Icy Tundra"
"I Get Nervous"
"Rosie"
"What Isn't Nature"

Just found out about these guys via Beach House after they praised their album highly. There must be something in the water over in Baltimore.

@griffenb The "ugly" frontman is a girl haha. Amazing performance.

I like how they've got a post rock sound with folk vocals. Ever since i heard Red Sparrows, I thought how cool would it be to hear a Folk post rock band, and i guess this is it. Pretty damn good.

The male guitarist totally resembles Yannis, from Foals. :o

I'm hoping the Lower Dens continue to rock just like this for a long time.

Does anybody know what kind of drone effect the guitarist in the back might be using?

@jackblacksutube It's actually a Music Master not a mustang. It only has one pickup and does not have a vibrato arm.
