[INDIE] Ominous and euphoric at once, the music of Baltimore’s Lower Dens would make the perfect soundtrack to a phantom vision of an 1980s future. Endowed with an exceptional command of space, the four piece outfit has a way of gracefully reeling listeners into their spectral dream—from their steadfast rhythms, to the kaleidoscopic guitar melodies, and Jana Hunter’s commanding, vulnerable yet unyielding poignant voice. As demonstrated within their most recent album, this year’s Escape From Evil, it’s as though they summon you to ride along through a shimmering, dystopian highway. Still, as articulated by NPR “For an album so sculpted and precise, trying to pin down its emotional core is like trying to catch quicksilver.” Needless to say, it’s this mystique that makes Lower Dens stand out among the swaths of indie rock outfits surfacing today and this Thursday presents an opportunity to immerse yourself in their world as they perform live at Mohawk Place. They’ll be accompanied by progressive singer-rapper, Abdu Ali.
