Statement from the band:

We're very sorry to announce that we are canceling our upcoming european tour. a member of our band is dealing with time sensitive health concerns and while we had hoped that the tour could go on as planned, recent developments made that impossible. this decision was very difficult to make. we were very excited to play our new music for our european audiences. it's heartbreaking knowing that this will affect fans who've looked forward to and planned on being at these shows, as well as the working people who've put time and money into making the tour happen. we wish there was another way, and tried to find one, but we have to prioritize the health of our band members. 

Four years since their critically acclaimed album, Escape From Evil, Lower Dens are proud to announce their newest creation -- The Competition -- which will be released on Ribbon Music on September 6th.

The album’s first song -- “Young Republicans,” about a certain sect of society's elite and their insatiable appetite to consume the lower classes both figuratively and literally is available to hear now.  

Watch the “Young Republicans” video directed by Raul Gonzo - here.

The Competition is a pop album with a concept both emotionally and politically urgent. By design, competition is the driving force of modern capitalism, and the title is lead singer and songwriter Jana Hunter’s (pronouns: they/them, him/his) term for a socio-psychological phenomenon this generates, a kind of psychosis that accelerates our insecurities and anxieties to the point of total overload, corroding our intimacies, our communities, and our senses of self.

Support from PVA.
