I’ve been following Baltimore band Lower Dens since their 2010 debut *Twin-Hand Movement*, which was quite a dark and obscure affair. Their third record *Escape from Evil* has evolved from that place into almost pop territory: many tracks, like lead single *To Die in L.A* add bright synth lines and guitar melodies. That balances well with Jana Hunter’s voice, which still has that haunting quality. 

While the whole album is a good listen, I find *Escape* strongest in the end: I love the synth in *Company* and *Société Anonyme* uses the Warpaint-like kind of guitar line I can’t get enough of.

*Escape from Evil* is out now on Ribbon Music.
