Danish quartet Lower are currently in North America for a few East Coast shows, including two here in NYC: tonight (5/28) at Home Sweet Home with Survival as part of the weekly late night Nothing Changes party ($8 at the door), and then Friday (5/30) at Acheron with Jade Tree signees Dark Blue and La Cruor (tickets).

The group have just shared a second song from their upcoming Matador debut, Seek Warmer Climes, out June 17. Where “Lost Weight, Perfect Skin,” was on the strident side, new single “Soft Option” is a little more melodic, with a chorus that recalls early-’80s bands like The Chameleons and The Sound. You can download it above and watch its video — along with a couple other tracks from the LP and the band’s current tour schedule — below.
