Lower Dens' The Competition, released in 2019 on Ribbon Music, marks a bold stylistic evolution for the band, trading in their earlier kosmische-influenced sound for darkly gleaming synthpop panoramas. Centered around Jana Hunter's rich contralto vocals, the album channels politico-personal anxiety about modern competitiveness into a lush, widescreen sonic landscape.
Thematically sharp and emotionally resonant, The Competition delivers some of Lower Dens' most compelling songwriting to date, with standout track "Real Thing" drawing comparisons to classic pop nostalgia with its heartbreaking, sock-hop-inspired sound. Fans of thoughtful, hook-driven indie synthpop will find plenty to return to across this ambitious record.
