Lower Dens announce new album, The Competition

Lower Dens have announced a new album. On September 6, the band will release new album The Competition via Domino. Vocalist/songwriter Jana Hunter says of the album’s themes, “The issues that have shaped my life, for better or for worse, have to do with coming from a family and a culture that totally bought into this competitive mindset. I was wild and in a lot of pain as a kid; home life was very bleak, and pop songs were a guaranteed escape to a mental space where beauty, wonder, and love were possible. I wanted to write songs that might have the potential to do that.”

The first single from the album is titled “Young Republicans.” Hear it below.

Lower Dens’ last album was 2015’s Escape From Evil.
