Lower Dens' new LP, Nootropics, arrived today (May 1) via Ribbon Music, and right on cue, the Baltimore dream pop band have unveiled a new music video and expanded their North American tour plans.
In addition to shows in the U.S. and Europe, Lower Dens' busy schedule now includes a few select dates in Canada. They will be touring with Montreal fuzz-lovers No Joy, with whom they will play with in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal in July. See the schedule below.
Scroll past that to watch the weird, haunting video for the Nootropics cut "Propagation." According to a press release, "The sprawling 'Propagation' reveals yet another side to the band, one whose heavily metaphorical songs teeming with sound and portent unravel their full depth and range over multiple listens."
