Lower Dens: Two-Hand Movement

Sweeping through its thirty-odd minutes in a laid-back haze of introspective nihilism, ‘Two-Hand Movement’ is a rainy afternoon of twinkling guitars, confidently plodding rhythm and breathless, barely audible vocals. The euphoric ‘Truss Me’ is particularly potent, its calm defeatism so narcotic you can almost get high listening to it, and the almost-urgency of  ‘Rosie’ and ‘Hospice Gates’ is also very endearing.
