Anybody who has spent any amount of time listening to Lower Dens knows that synthesizers are a critical component in their sound. Now, the band’s Jana Hunter has taken the time to honor and discuss them in a new mini-documentary titled You Belong Here, made by one of the leading synth manufacturers, Moog.
In the five-minute video, Hunter speaks about making the song “Galapagos,” which was created in the Moog Sound Lab. He says, “I was thinking about the formation of islands and archipelagos, and how it is kind of a form of the Earth renewing itself, making itself new.”
Additionally, Lower Dens also shared a string of 2020 North American tour dates today, which run from mid-February to late March.
