Released in 2012 on Ribbon Music, Nootropics is the sophomore album from Baltimore-based indie rock outfit Lower Dens. The record showcases the band's signature hazy, atmospheric sound — a blend of krautrock-influenced rhythms and dream-like textures that earned them widespread critical recognition upon its release.
Nootropics is a thoughtful and immersive listen, with the band crafting songs that feel expansive and cerebral without ever losing their melodic pull. Recorded at Key Club Recording Co. in Benton Harbor, MI and mixed across studios in Los Angeles and New York City, the album reflects a careful and deliberate production process. A standout curiosity for vinyl enthusiasts: the final track, "In The End Is The Beginning," closes on a locked groove — a fitting touch for an album that invites repeated listening.
