Lower Dens released their newest creation — The Competition‘The Competition’ Lower Dens — on Ribbon Music at the end of last year. Today, they’re sharing the video for one of the album’s “Hand of God.” The colourfully psychedelic clip, directed by Aaron Brown & Robby Piantanida.

Speaking on the origins of the song, the band’s Jana Hunter states: “It’s like Cowboy Krautrock. Imagine a wild west adventure, like ‘City Slickers,’ with the star, a wealthy white man. He’s devised a way to conquer God. He has some kind of vaguely dangerous journey, then comes upon God and declares victory. In his hubris, he goes to shake God’s hand, at which time he is psychedelically humbled, his little brain imploding.”

Lower Dens also recently announced a string of 2020 headlining tour dates in support of the album, following a massive support tour last year with Of Monsters And Men.
