nelso330 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 A stellar album (3rd) from the wonderful indie pop group Lower Dens (Jana Hunter) - Escape from Evil finds them jamming more and more....may be their best record yet!!! Highly recommended... Limited to only 500 on colored vinyl. Their last LP was only limited to 100 Gold so there are a few more to go around on this release....Dont Sleep! http://ribbonus.dominorecordco.com/ribbonus/albums/23-01-15/escape-from-evil Pre-order the album, Escape from Evil, and receive an instant download of “To Die in L.A.” Ribbon Music is pleased to announce the return of Baltimore’s Lower Dens with their third album, Escape from Evil. On Escape From Evil, Lower Dens’ Jana Hunter emerges: cerebral and hot-blooded, rash and incorruptible, and, crucially, possessing of a loud, clear voice. The album sees Hunter stepping up and taking center stage, and emboldening every aspect of the band. Escape From Evil is a cinematic, tonally rich work. The sounds are clean and warm. The pulse of the album is strong. Melodies are potent and songs are physical. Lyrics are direct, frank confrontations with life’s common crises. The album title is brazen, and along with the grimly funny title of lead single, “To Die in L.A.”, almost theatrical. Lower Dens’ 2010 debut, Twin-Hand Movement, was a stunning evolution of guitar brilliance and murky emotiveness, while its 2012 follow-up, Nootropics, was a stark, textured paean to experimental bands of the krautrock era. Escape From Evil marks a bold, monumental step forward for the band and the welcome manifestation of a singer we’ve never quite seen until now. DELUXE LP RBN041LPX | Released 03/31/15 Pre-order now: $18.00 Limited edition LP version of the album on 150gram deep purple vinyl. Includes exclusive 12”x24” fold-out insert. Limited to 500.

aphasias Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Their first two were fantastic and I have no doubt this album will be good. This preorder has been up for a good while. $18 seems to be the going price for this record and I'm too cheap to spend an extra 40% in shipping for the colored vinyl.

I add a ton a of releases to Discogs, and like wikipedia sources are everything. I always archive limited release buy pages so that I can link the archived page in the release notes. Archive.today is a good source b/c it will archive Facebook pages and the like, whereas archive.org will not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelso330 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Got this today! Wow and early ...Little underwhelming for a deluxe LP...should of been 180g at least....But sounds amazing and is such a good record Robert_Sofa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinatra.45 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Got this today! Wow and early ...Little underwhelming for a deluxe LP...should of been 180g at least....But sounds amazing and is such a good record I agree that it seems a little less than what they could have done for a "deluxe" version. The record itself is a really cool color & the album is good but they're missing a little extra something in the package whether it be gatefold sleeve, poster/artwork, 180g, etc. Just one of those little extras would have been nice. Otherwise this should have just been called a limited edition. Robert_Sofa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
