Danish post-punk band Lower has dropped a new track in promotion of some North American tour dates that they have pasted onto the cover art for this song. Observe:
"Another Life" features some intensely busy drums, noisy guitars, and some really bitter vocals. The end result is enough to have me psyched for the band's debut full-length. Stream the band's Walk On Heads EP via the widget below:
Denmark's Lower has a new single up on its Bandcamp, and both tracks take the post-punk outfit into some pretty heavy, dismal, and depressing territory. Both songs work at a slow pace, and feature some sincerely pained vocals as well. These guys have put out one of the better EPs of this year as well, so make sure to take a listen to that as well.
While music's tendency to reuse and recontextualize elements from the past prevents any genre from truly dying, the post-punk revivalism coming out of Scandinavia in the last few years could impress even the most cynical post-punk fan. Alongside compatriots like Iceage and War, Denmark's Lower deliver a brand of raw, combative post-punk with elements of hardcore and noise rock for additional spice. This three-part formula is executed flawlessly on the "Craver," first track of Lower's new EP entitled Walk on Heads.
The tracks begins with two unaccompanied drum beats foreboding the aural assault to come. It doesn't take long for the brooding bassline, screeching guitar feedback, and impassioned vocals to enter. With all the necessary parts present, the track forms a sonic tank, mercilessly flattening the listener.
You can stream the two song EP on Lower's Bandcamp and be on the lookout for any material from this talented rising band in the future.
