MP3 Roundup: New Music from Lower Dens, Blackbird Blackbird, Ohbijou

Lower Dens – “Brains”

Baltimore five-piece Lower Dens just announced their second album Nootropics (pronounced No-eh-tro-pics), offering the public a stellar preview with “Brains.” Relentlessly steady drums lead us through a warm and melodic five minutes in this simple but effective tune. Album drops May 1st.

Blackbird Blackbird – “New Leaf”

Mikey Maramag, the ever-creative mind behind Blackbird Blackbird, recently released this nuanced cut of shimmering weirdo pop. Production is crisp and tidy, fluctuating between lighthearted electro goofiness and menacing club banger. Add this one to your conspicuously cool iTunes party mix.

Ohbijou – “Mossy Lungs”

Toronto’s orchestral pop sextet Ohbijou warmed our ears last September when they released their third album, Metal Meets.
They’re already at it again with their new track, “Mossy Lungs.” By the
very first lyric “there’s blood on the road” the group sets the dark
tone for this rather haunting ballad.
